Ingredients
Scale
1 package (9 oz) refrigerated ravioli (spinach and ricotta)
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup marinara sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, fresh spinach, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Layer half of the ravioli over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ravioli, ricotta mixture, and finish with the remaining marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Notes
This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.

For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes to the layers.
