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.

Because ravioli is already rich in flavor, complement it with a lighter side dish or a salad. Here are some ideas:

Delish but I had to modify a bit. My peeps need meat with every meal. I sauted some onions and added ground chicken. The rest I kept the same and everyone LOVED it!! Thanks!!
We enjoyed the recipe but I think next time I would take some of the pasta water, add some parmesan cheese to create a light sauce. Also some toasted pine nut would be good to give a crunch.
I just made this for my mother in law and wife. Added Alfredo sauce, garlic bread and a salad. Absolutely delicious! We will be adding this to our rotation!
Added a jar of alfredo sauce and some leftover rotisserie chicken, topped off with a sprinkle of parm-reggiano. Delicious and easy!
Jean, I love how you dressed it up with chicken and Alfredo sauce!
My friend shared your recipe and it looked so amazing I had to try it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any ravioli or tortellini that was vegan so I had to improvize. I used a lovely orecchiette pasta instead and added simple air-fried tofu cubes seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika & black pepper and completed the meal with a crisp salad filled with fresh veggies. Simply delicious and definitely will make again!! Thank you!
Lynn, you are so welcome! I love your resourcefulness and creativity! The meal you created sounds delish! ❤️
Are the sundried tomatoes packed in oil?
You can use sundried tomatoes packed in oil or without oil. Either will work. If using the ones in oil, drain the oil - and use some of it for cooking the veggies in this recipe.
I made this for dinner tonight as I happened to have all the ingredients on hand (Other than the ravioli for which I substituted tortellini!). It was quick to make and delicious to eat. Very attractive to look at as well. I offered pesto and grated parmesan as optional finishes. Both worked well, Clear instructions. thank you.
Liz, thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful comment! ❤️ Glad you enjoyed this recipe!
I don’t care for dried tomatoes, suggestions for a substitute?
Lynn, you can use pan-roasted sweet bell peppers (mini peppers work the best as they are more gentle!). Or, you can roast cherry tomatoes with olive oil and minced garlic in the preheated oven at 400 F. for about 20 minutes without overcrowding.
Fantastic! I didn’t have mushrooms so I added chopped artichokes and capers. I also used tortellini instead of ravioli. To add a little meat I added pancetta. Definitely a keeper!!
Dawn, I love-love your additions! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed this!
Could you make this ahead of time and just reheat?
Michelle, yes, this is a great recipe to make ahead, it stores well refrigerated and reheats well in a microwave oven.
Could it be frozen?
Brenda, yes, this will freeze well!
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!
Elizabeth, I am super flattered by your comment! So glad you were able to adjust this recipe for your granddaughters - they are lucky to have a grandmother like you! 🙂
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!
