The flavors of Italy are best expressed in simplicity: a dash of spices, a little oil and dinner's on the table in minutes--especially if you use frozen spinach and frozen ravioli or tortellini.

  • Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add salt, crushed red pepper to taste, spinach and water. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has thawed, wilted and heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.

This recipe was very quick easy and delicious. I used a frozen bag of tortellini instead of ravioli fresh spinach instead of frozen and country crock instead of olive oil. I had all of these ingredients in the fridge so I didn't have to go buy anything. I too thought it would be weird without a heavy sauce but all the ingredients mixed together with the garlic made it so tasty and not heavy. I'll definitely make this again!:-) CJ Boston MA Read More

This recipe was a huge surprise. I used whole-wheat ravioli and at first I thought pasta without sauce would not taste good but to my surprise the flavors of the spinach oil and red pepper are wonderful. woodbridge VA Read More

Surprisingly good!!! This was surprisingly good. I thought it would be really bland but the garlic and the hint of cheese really added taste. The only thing that I question is the calorie information. All of the frozen cheese ravioli that I found was 230 calories per serving for 3-4 ounces (not 5). The spinach was 30 calories for 3 ounces. That leaves 3 calories for the cheese and oil??? Pros: very easy good way to get vegetables very tasty Read More

Easy Fast and Delicious I didn't feel like cooking but I had to for my family. I used the frozen spinach and frozen ravioli and threw it together. The most shocking and wonderful surprise is that my super picky toddler is actually eating it (can't believe she just ate all that spinach and is almost done with her ravioli...just amazing and awesome). Pros: see title Cons: none Read More
