Ingredients:
2 packages (25 oz each) frozen cheese or spinach & cheese ravioli
16 oz ground sausage (lean or mild Italian)
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 (24 oz) jar Alfredo sauce (your favorite variety)
1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add the spinach: Stir the thawed and squeezed spinach into the cooked sausage and mix well.
Layer the casserole:
Spread half of the Alfredo sauce in the baking dish.
Layer half of the ravioli, followed by the sausage-spinach mixture.
Repeat with the remaining ravioli and Alfredo sauce.
Top with cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
Cool and serve: Let cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
No need to boil the ravioli— it will cook in the sauce while baking.
Extra flavor: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
Fresh garnish: Add fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Variations: Try different ravioli fillings or Alfredo sauce flavors for variety.
