Ingredients

• 500 grams Cheese ravioli
• 250 grams Broccoli florets
• 150 grams Fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light layer of olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot of boiling water, add the cheese ravioli and cook according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain the ravioli and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour to form a smooth paste. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and reserved pasta water. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ravioli, cooked broccoli, spinach, and the creamy sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella cheese, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on top.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Ravioli Baked with Broccoli and Spinach!
