Health and fertility benefits of Cheesy Baked Ravioli

Fresh spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, all of which have significant roles in reducing inflammation in the body, all of which help in the case of infertility.

Ingredients

1 1/4 c. fresh baby spinach
1 1/2 c. marinara sauce
1 oz. sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil)
3/4 c. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
12 oz. cheese ravioli

Instructions

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Put spinach in a colander in the sink. Mix marinara sauce and sun-dried tomatoes together in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine mozzarella and Parmesan.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook just until they float to the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain ravioli over spinach to wilt.
Add ravioli and spinach to marinara mixture. Lay down enough ravioli to cover the bottom of a 9- by 1 1/2-inch gratin dish (or bake in individual 4 1/2- to 5-inch gratin dishes). Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese mixture on top. Repeat with remaining ravioli and cheese mixtures, finishing with the cheese on top.
Bake until hot and bubbly throughout, 10 to 12 minutes.
