Ingredients
  

24 oz. frozen cheese ravioli

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, diced

1 bell pepper (choose either red or yellow), diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup vegetable broth

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it is ready for baking.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper; continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper starts to soften.

      Incorporate Tomatoes and Spices: Add the halved cherry tomatoes, along with the dried basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if you like a bit of spice). Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.

        Prepare the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring everything together to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Add in the chopped spinach and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine with Ravioli: Gently fold the frozen ravioli into the creamy vegetable mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the ravioli mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish (or a similar size). Evenly sprinkle the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top. If desired, feel free to add additional Parmesan for extra cheesy goodness.

              Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

                Garnish and Serve: After removing the dish from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. For a fresh touch, garnish with basil leaves before serving. Enjoy the cozy and creamy flavors of this delightful ravioli bake!
