Creamy spinach baked ravioli
Description
This recipe for Creamy spinach baked ravioli begins by gently sautéing finely chopped onion until soft, then cooking crushed garlic and roughly chopped baby spinach until wilted. A mixture of milk and cornflour is added along with heavy cream and simmered gently until it thickens to a creamy sauce.
Parmesan cheese and lemon juice are stirred in for a balance of richness and brightness. The sauce is then layered with cheese ravioli and topped with grated cheese in an oven dish. Baking at around 200ºC (390ºF) until the top becomes golden brown and the ravioli is heated through produces a comforting pasta bake.
After baking, resting the dish allows the sauce to set slightly, adding to a smooth texture with contrasting melty cheese and tender pasta. This dish suits a simple meal option with creamy spinach flavor enhanced by fresh lemon and cheese.
