Mushroom Ravioli With Spinach Recipe

When I made this Mushroom Ravioli with Spinach for the first time, I was hooked. The hearty mushroom ravioli paired with the garlicky sautéed spinach created a harmony of flavors that’s hard to resist. It felt like bringing a fine Italian restaurant experience right to my dining room table.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound mushroom ravioli store-bought or homemade
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes optional for spice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. While the mushrooms cook, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the mushroom ravioli according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
  3. Transfer the sautéed mushrooms into a mixing bowl and combine them with the ricotta cheese. Stir until creamy and well-mixed.
  4. Using the same skillet (because less cleanup is always better!), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the fresh spinach leaves and sauté until wilted, which takes about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Place the warm ravioli on a plate. Generously spoon the mushroom-ricotta mixture onto each ravioli. Top with the sautéed spinach.
  6. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy the beautiful medley of earthy, creamy, and garlicky flavors.

Notes

  1. Don’t Overcook Ravioli
    Fresh pasta cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to ensure it’s tender but firm.
  2. Season Generously
    Both spinach and mushrooms soak up seasonings beautifully. Don’t shy away from salt and pepper.
  3. Use Fresh Ingredients
    Fresh spinach, garlic, and mushrooms enhance the dish’s overall flavor.
  4. Warm Plates
    Serve on warmed plates to keep the dish piping hot for longer.
