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.

- Creamy Sauce. Add a creamy sauce such as alfredo sauce or creamy sun-dried tomato sauce.

Very easy and delicious!
Judy
Love this! I had portobello ravioli and was afraid it might be mushroom overkill, but it was wonderful, and so easy. I just added some grated asiago and parmesan at the end. Excellent dish, especially for vegetarian company!
Maryellen Aromatorio
At what point can I pre-do steps. I want to go this beforehand of the day I want to serve.
Julia
I would prepare all the veggies just as indicated in the recipe a day before and refrigerate them. Then, I would cook/boil the ravioli only right before serving, the next day.
Emma
Hi there, this looks good, can you use cheese tortellini instead of ravioli?
Julia
Hi Emma! Yes, absolutely, you can use cheese tortellini instead.
Emma
Awesome, thank you!! Cannot wait to try it!
Julia
Enjoy the recipe!
Jennifer
So very yummy. Super simple. Love it
Elaine Peterson
Thanks for the reminder of a favorite dish from a favorite restaurant. They added toasted pine nuts so I will too, and of course parmesan. So many favorites on one plate! A great addition to my meatless repertoire. Exited for dinner tonight! Thanks, again.
Julia
Elaine, you are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed this recipe! 🙂 The addition of toasted pine nuts is delicious!
Elizabeth Lepock
Looks good! How many does it serve?
Julia
Hi Elizabeth! This recipe serves 4 people.
Barbara J. Church
VERY good. Does need some pasta water added to the base. And of course, Parmesan.
Julia
Barbara, I am so glad you liked this recipe! Yes, the addition of Parmesan always elevates the pasta dish!
Michele
This recipe is delicious! I used some of the sun dried tomato oil at the end and added a bit of Parmesan cheese.
Julia
Michele, glad you liked it! Sprinkling Parmesan cheese over ravioli is a nice touch!
Anita
Disregard my question about sauce. Definitely didn’t need it. It was good but I guess I’m not a fan of sundries tomatoes though.
Julia
Anita, glad you liked it!
Anita
I am making this for dinner today. From the look of your finished product I take it that it doesn’t need a sauce? I don’t have anything in the house that I can use and forgot to get something when I was out.
Looks delicious and sounds so easy to make.
Thanks.
Julia
Hi Anita! This recipe does not need any sauce. The flavor comes from mushrooms, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. This is just ravioli mixed with sauteed veggies. I have other ravioli recipes that have sauces, such as this Butternut Squash Ravioli with Brown Butter and Pecans.
Mary
Made this evening....oh my....super delish, easy and looked so impressive! Added a splash of heavy cream at the end to coat....woohoo! Do all your prep ahead and it will turn out perfect.
