An easy, cheesy rich and creamy spinach and artichoke ravioli bake. Easy to make with regular pantry items from grocery stores!

An easy, cheesy rich and creamy spinach and artichoke ravioli bake. Easy to make with convenience items from grocery stores!

The first time I had ravioli I likened them to fluffy meaty pillows. They’re so much fun! So today we’re going to have ravioli in a pasta bake of sorts, smothered in rich, creamy Alfredo sauce and layered with a spinach and artichoke pesto mix.

Oh and there’s cheese. A six Italian cheese blend of mozzarella, smoked provolone, romano, fontina, asiago and Parmesan cheese. And don’t be put off by all the fancy names, you can find a packet of this pre-mixed shredded cheese right in the dairy section of a grocery store. No need to visit the deli aisle!

What’s great about this is despite sounding like a lot of work, it really isn’t. Most of the stuff can be bought pre-made. From frozen ravioli, jarred Alfredo sauce (although I’ve included how to make Alfredo sauce from scratch in the notes) and artichoke hearts in a can that just need some dicing. Really easy.

So let’s get started.

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE RAVIOLI BAKE RECIPE TIPS

An easy, cheesy rich and creamy spinach and artichoke ravioli bake. Easy to make with convenience items from grocery stores!

I let the frozen ravioli thaw out a little to separate easier. Some of them clumped up together so it was necessary. As a precaution, since spinach has high water content and I didn’t want my bake watery, I sautéed them over the stovetop till they cooked down.

Not much to it. Saucepan, some heat and some baby spinach. You can choose to chop your spinach or leave them as is. It turned out my fears were unfounded as there was very little water released. So you could opt to cook them down or use them as is.

The spinach is then mixed with chopped artichoke hearts and some pesto. This part is pretty simple. Water down the Alfredo sauce a little with some broth, vegetable broth to keep it vegetarian, or chicken broth for those who don’t mind. It’s so the sauce can spread easier in the casserole. Then it’s layering time!

Sauce, spinach mix, ravioli. Rinse and repeat once more and top with a final layer of Alfredo sauce. Bake for 30 minutes then cover with all that cheese I mentioned earlier and broil until melted, about 3 to 5 minutes.

And that’s all there is to it. This should yield 6-8 servings of pure comfort food. Now as I’ve mentioned, you can do this with store-bought Alfredo sauce or you can try and make your own. Check the recipe notes for instructions on making your own.

And if you’ve had success with this recipe and a store-bought Alfredo, please list the brand of Alfredo sauce you used in the comments to help others shop for it!

Happy eating and enjoy!

    Do you not cook the frozen ravioli first? I want to make this dish but I have refrigerated ravioli. Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to cook them first or if they just cook themselves while the dish cooks.

      Yup, I didn’t cook the frozen ravioli. It’ll cook while in the oven. Have fun making this and I hope you enjoy it!

    Anyone else have very oily results? It tasted great but I could practically pour out the grease after I cut into it. Not sure what I did wrong?

      Sorry it got oily on you, Abby! Time to play cooking detective. Did you make the Alfredo sauce from scratch? The grease sounds like the butter from the Alfredo sauce broke during the cooking stage.

          We’ve only tried two brands so far, Bertolli and Ragu. Out of the two, we prefer Ragu. But there are many other brands out there we haven’t tried yet, so please feel free experiment. I’m by no means a jarred Alfredo sauce expert 🙂 If you do, let us know which you think is the best?

          I researched taste tests done on jarred alfredo sauces before I made this and the top ones are Giada de Laurentiis, Mario Batali, Victoria, and believe it or not, Great Value (Walmart’s brand).

        • Christine says

          January 8, 2017

          I should have added that I used the Great Value and did not have a problem with oil at all.

      Same here. I just made it and it was literally swimming in oil. I dumped most, but even after I started cutting into it, more poured out. The Alfredo seemed a bit thin compared to any I’ve made, so that may have been the issue not sure. I think I should’ve left out the broth.

        Sorry to hear that, Cassie! Did you make the Alfredo sauce from scratch based on the notes in this recipe or did you use jarred Alfredo sauce? The only thing that would make it oily is the butter separating from the sauce and Alfredo sauce is known to separate or break down on high heat. Kinda like taking home some Alfredo pasta from the restaurants and heating leftovers in the microwave. You’ll notice a lot of grease from the butter separating then.

    Looks delicious! Could I prepare this ahead of time and freeze it?

      September 23, 2015

      Thanks Kylee! I always get a little nervous when folks ask about freezing things because I don’t do much of that in my house so I hate to give out inexperienced advice. That being said, I took another look at the ingredients and they all look freezable separately so theoretically I think you can. If you end up doing it, can you let us know your results? The only thing I would caution is to let it thaw properly before cooking it up so the Alfredo sauce doesn’t break. Alfredo is notorious for breaking and the butter separating into an oily mess when reheated.

    I did this but added baby bella mushrooms and asparagus to the layers because I just find everything is better with mushrooms and asparagus. Oh my. It’s SO GOOD. I think I may try it tomorrow with a little crab thrown in rather than the asparagus…or with. Not sure yet. 🙂
    I had made it for lunch because I eat primarily vegetarian and the girls at work were just looking at me with envy and awe because it looked and smelled so amazing. And so EASY! I shared your recipe and your website with a few!
    Thank you!

      Oh you added portobello mushrooms! I suggested it in one of the comments but never actually tried it so It’s good to know the flavors played well together. Having a great lunch to show off at work is always fun 🙂 You get to strut back to your desk after heating it up. And thanks for sharing my blog! I hope your co-workers find something they like.

        I would think she would have. The mushrooms will need to cook down and release their liquids first or the whole thing will be watered down. That’s my two cents!

    I made this tonight and it’s really good. I made it as directed but used a 9×9 in pan because it’s only my husband and me. I used all ingredients Just less of the ravioli to fill the pan. We are so bad, we Just about finished it off! I would make this again as is or with any or all of the Suggestions from others. Thanks it’s a keeper.

      You rock, homemade ravioli! I would go for cheese ravioli, that would work well and that’s the frozen kind I used. It won’t overwhelm the other flavors.

    Tried this tonight, and it was delicious! Only about 500 cal/serving, and tasted much more sinful. 🙂 Would be great if you’re hosting a vegetarian. Next time, I might try adding red peppers and a hint of cayenne to the sauce. We will def. make this again.

    Both the Pistachio-Mint and Artichoke pesto are made by a company called Bella Cucina Artful Food out of Atlanta, Georgia. I have a book on making different pestos and have made a cilantro- lime pesto and want to try developing my own sage-pecan with browned butter pesto.

    The funny thing is I saw this exact recipe on another website a while back and made it last week. Of course I made some changes. I had a package of an artichoke ravioli and a jar of artichoke and lemon pesto, so that’s what I used. Depending on what kind of ravioli I find next, I may use a pistachio-mint pesto or for pumpkin or butternut squash ravioli, a sage and pecan pesto would be lovely.

      There’s a lot of overlap in the recipe world so I wouldn’t be surprised! I modified this recipe slightly from Betty Crocker so maybe that’s where you saw it? That pistachio-mint pesto sounds heavenly! Pistachios are one of my favorite things. I’ve only managed to find regular pesto so far!

    Farah, I just wanted you to know that your recipes are fabulous! I am a passionate home chef, and just love the creativity, and ease of your delicious recipes. I have made a few of your dishes (including this one ) for my family, and they have been “keepers” (according to my crew). It’s a pleasure to read your blog, and I look forward to each and every post!

      Thank you Dawn. This is such a heart-warming comment. I can’t take full credit for every single recipe on my blog since I’ve been inspired by so many others but I do try to put my spin on them or taste test them and test drive the execution for everyone in a manner of speaking. And if there’s anything I figure that’s hard, I include pics to hopefully make it easier to do. I’ve made many, many mistakes which I mention so people can learn from them, from one home cook to another! In short, I try to make home cooking approachable 🙂
