Ravioli in Spinach Alfredo Sauce image

A 4-ingredient recipe that is so-o simple to put together. A jar of Alfredo sauce is called for; but if you prefer, you can make your own. The recipe is included and is really simple to do. Note that Bird's Eye makes a creamed spinach that is much lower in fat content than is the Stouffer creamed spinach. This recipe is from Linda Larson at About.com.

1 (16 ounce) jar alfredo sauce (homemade version follows)
