Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sauté aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Make the sauce: Stir in marinara sauce, chopped spinach, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until spinach wilts slightly.

Notes
- You can use refrigerated ravioli instead of frozen—just reduce the baking time by 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add cooked ground sausage or mushrooms for a heartier version.
