Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 10 oz ravioli (Feel free to choose your favorite filling, whether it’s cheese, pesto, or something else.)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus an extra tablespoon for the final touch
• ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped for that tangy, concentrated flavor
• 10 oz mushrooms (Cremini, button, or baby portobellos work beautifully here.)
• 5 oz fresh spinach, for a pop of color and a boost of nutrients
• 4 cloves garlic, minced, because garlic makes everything better
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes to add just the right amount of heat
• Salt and pepper to taste, for that perfect seasoning

Directions to Culinary Bliss:

1. Preparation: Start by cooking your ravioli according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes a few minutes. Once cooked, drain the ravioli and set aside. This will be the star of your dish, so you want it perfectly tender.
2. Sauté the Base: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. The sun-dried tomatoes add a lovely tanginess while the mushrooms bring their unique umami to the dish. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms start to soften.
3. Bring in the Greens: To the skillet, add the fresh spinach, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Continue cooking and stirring until the spinach has wilted down. This not only adds color and nutrition to your dish but also layers of flavor with the aromatic garlic and the kick from the red pepper flakes.
4. Combine and Season: Now, gently fold in the cooked ravioli with an additional tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the ravioli is evenly coated with the sauce and reheated. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. It’s important to taste as you season to ensure every bite is delicious.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once everything is heated through and well-combined, your Mushroom Ravioli with Spinach is ready to serve. This dish not only looks inviting but also offers a symphony of flavors in every bite.
