Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Blanch the ravioli a few at a time in salted water for one or two minutes and drain on an oiled plate so they don't stick. They should not be cooked all the way.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups sauce into a 9 x 13" pan and line the spinach leaves over top. Place ravioli on top of spinach and top each ravioli with a slice of mozzarella. Spoon remaining sauce over top of cheese.
- Cover pan with plastic wrap and then cover with foil very tightly. You can stow this in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature while you pre-heat the oven.
- Bake about 45 minutes to an hour or until the ravioli are hot throughout. Time depends on how big, or cold the ravioli are.
- When the ravioli are done just uncover for a few minutes and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and let melt in the oven, about 5 minutes. Watch it so it does not burn. Sprinkle with basil.
- Enjoy with garlic bread or bread sticks!
SPINACH AND CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
This is Deee-licious and not at all difficult. A filling alternative to meat dishes. This is the "main" recipe. Please also refer to my Fresh Tomato Sauce recipe. I will also list a recipe for Homemade Pasta Sheets if you choose to go that route instead of purchasing them. *Both recipes to be published in next few days* I almost didn't post this as it's so long, but these are really fun to make and really not that hard.
