Substituting frozen ravioli for lasagna noodles brings this lasagna to the table in only 45 minutes. A spin on classic lasagna, this white sauce version features a savory combination of spinach, pesto and Alfredo sauce.

  • 1 6-ounce package fresh baby spinach, thoroughly washed
  • ⅓ cup refrigerated pesto sauce
  • 1 15-ounce jar Alfredo sauce
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth*
  • 1 25-ounce package frozen cheese-filled ravioli (do not thaw)
  • 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Italian six-cheese blend
  • Garnishes: chopped fresh basil, paprika
  1. Preheat oven to 375°. Chop spinach, and toss with pesto in a medium bowl.
  2. Combine Alfredo sauce and vegetable broth. Spoon one-third of alfredo sauce mixture (about ½ cup) into a lightly greased 2.2-qt. or 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Top with half of spinach mixture. Arrange half of ravioli in a single layer over spinach mixture. Repeat layers once. Top with remaining Alfredo sauce.
  3. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake 5 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Garnish, if desired.

*Chicken broth may be substituted.
