Mushroom Ravioli with Spinach - this easy meatless pasta dinner requires only 6 ingredients and 30 minutes! Mushrooms are sauteed with spinach, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and combined with ravioli.
My family loves Italian filled pasta combined with a flavorful mixture of vegetables and mushrooms! This recipe has been inspired by my Italian ravioli which also features lots of veggies. I used store-bought ravioli filled with 4 cheese mix.
You can use any type of ravioli to combine with mushrooms: pesto filled ravioli, cheese ravioli, spinach filled ravioli, etc. You can even make your own ravioli from scratch if you like. I have 2 homemade ravioli recipes on my site that I highly recommend. Try homemade ravioli with goat cheese and spinach filling and ravioli with spinach and ricotta cheese filling.

I’ve had to adjust 60 years of cooking to correspond with my granddaughters’ vegan lifestyles, and your Mushroom Raviolo with Spinach got rave reviews from them! Easy and incredibly delicious!
I love this dish! It's amazingly fast to make and it's delicious! Tonight was my second time to make this dish and both times it was scarfed down.
Catherine, your comment made my day! Glad you love this recipe! 🙂
It was one of those nights when I didn't feel like cooking & hubby wasn't too keen on the thought of leftovers. I remembered I had a half of bag of Mushroom Ravioli in the freezer, looked up a recipe on Pinterest & yours came up and I'm so glad it did. I just happened to have all the ingredients except the sun-dried tomatoes but had a carton of cherry tomatoes. Cut those in half & added with the mushrooms, garlic & spinach in my pan while waiting for the ravioli to cook. It was one of the best meals I've fixed in a longtime. Hubby was very impressed & I couldn't believe it when he said, "see you don't have to have meat all the time." Thank you so much for your fantabulous recipe!!
Debi, I am so flattered by your comment! I know a lot of people might like the recipe but don't have the time to comment, but when I see glowing reviews like yours - they really make my day! Thanks for sharing the story behind how you made this recipe -loved it! 🙂
I really like this recipe. I forgot to add the red pepper flakes but it was still good. Next time I will try another person’s suggestion and use fresh tomatoes as I found out I’m not a huge fan of sun-dried tomatoes. Will definitely make this again.
Jim, thank you for trying the recipe - I am glad you loved it! Fresh tomatoes would taste delicious here!
Very good. I forgot the red pepper flakes, but added a hand full of toasted walnuts.
I will definitely add this to my must have list.
Love the addition of toasted walnuts! Thanks for taking the time to comment! 🙂
We all loved it!
It was perfect! I will definitely make this again!
Beth, I am super happy to hear that!
So good, family loved it. I didn’t have sun dried tomatoes so I drained a can of petite diced tomatoes and added that with the spinach. Hubby sprinkled some grated Parmesan cheese on his. Will be making this again.
Elizabeth, thank you so much for sharing your feedback! Glad you liked the recipe and good to know that drained diced tomatoes worked well!
I tried this recipe and I must say that it was awesome! I added some chopped green onions and 2 pats of butter to suit my tastes. It was quick to prepare and a filling, but not heavy meal. I had some garlic toast along with it. I like that it was a meatless meal, but I can add meat as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Definitely a keeper!!!
Michelle, I am glad you found this recipe and that it was a success! Love the addition of green onions!
Although I have made this several times I am sorry to say I have never left a review. This is my go to for simple quick and delicious . Always the simplest of ingredients I’m finding let you savour the amazing flavour . No more cream sauces for this house .
We just came back from Italy and the best dishes we had were very much like this letting the pasta and veggies take centre stage instead of smothering everything with a sauce .
Thanks again for yet another dinner of gastronomic wonder
Alex, I am so flattered by your feedback! Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and positive comment - I really appreciate it! 🙂 I am glad you've made this recipe several times and enjoyed it. Italy is an amazing country. I am going there next week - can't wait!
SOOOOOO GOOD!!!! I picked up some mushroom stuffed ravioli and wasn't sure what to do with it....now I know! This was way to easy to be so good. I added some oven roasted broccoli after plating and couldn't stop myself.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for such a positive and enthusiastic comment! 🙂 I really appreciate it! Love that you served this with oven-roasted broccoli - what a great pairing!
Oh my gosh! This recipe is fabulous! This meal will be my go-to meal when I want to impress people! I had the idea to add sautéed chicken breasts. I sliced the raw breasts in half to create thin layers. I added salt and pepper, and cooked the chicken in the oil from the sun dried tomatoes. Before serving I sliced the chicken breasts into 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick pieces. The chicken flavored with the tomato oil was delicious. Wow. Thank you!!!
Rachel, I am so flattered by your comment! I know a lot of people might like the recipe but don't have the time to comment, but when I see glowing reviews like yours - they really make my day! 🙂
Love the idea of adding sauteed chicken! It makes it a complete meal with protein!
