RAVIOLI - SPINACH - ALFREDO BAKE - CASS'S

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 x 3 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• 2. Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, bring the chicken stock to a slow boil. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cream, corn starch, garlic. Bring to a soft boil and stir for one minute. Reduce heat to low, add parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Let simmer for about 10 mins to melt cheese, let thicken. Set aside
• 3. In your baking dish, spread enough Alfredo sauce to cover evenly.
• 4. Next, spread some spinach evenly onto the sauce.
• 5. Next, lay single layer of ravioli, cover with cheese ( I don't use sparingly), more Alfredo sauce ( I use a ladle, approx 1/2 cup ). Spread the sauce evenly.
• 6. Repeat the steps until out of spinach, sauce and ravioli. ( end with ravioli and top with lots of cheese. I don't measure the cheese, just put enough on to cover. I then sprinkled the top with hot pepper flakes and dried parsley. I ended up with 5 - 6 ravioli's left over.
• 7. Bake for 50 - 55 minutes or until bubbly and cheese begins to brown. I let it sit for 5 - 10 minutes before cutting.
• 8. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and friends do..it is out of this world good!
