Ingredients
- 10 oz ravioli (cheese or pesto-filled)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 10 oz mushrooms (cremini, button, or baby portobellos)
- 5 oz fresh spinach
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for finishing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Ravioli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Once the ravioli is al dente, drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the mushrooms soften and release their juices.
Step 3: Add Spinach and Garlic
Next, add the fresh spinach, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts and everything is well combined, about 3 minutes.
Step 4: Combine Ravioli and Vegetables
To the skillet with the sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes, add the cooked ravioli and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir everything gently to combine, and reheat the dish over medium-low heat.
Step 5: Season and Serve
Finish the dish by seasoning it with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach and mushrooms give the best flavor and texture. Avoid canned or frozen mushrooms as they can become mushy.
- Sauté, don’t steam: When cooking mushrooms, avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they sauté rather than steam. This will bring out their deep, umami flavor.
- Add some crunch: For extra texture, sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or almonds on top before serving.
