Description

An easy 5 ingredient dinner! Cheese ravioli, spinach, pesto, mozzarella cheese and alfredo sauce layered in a dish and cooked until hot and bubbly. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz spinach
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 1 (14.5 oz) jar alfredo sauce or homemade (Bertoli or Prego are my favorite brands)
  • 1 (25 oz) bag frozen ravioli
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: parmesan cheese and fresh basil, chopped for serving

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Chop the spinach well and add it to a mixing bowl. Stir the pesto in with the spinach. 
  2. In a oven safe dish* that fits inside your Instant Pot layer the following ingredients twice: ½ cup alfredo sauce, half of the spinach mixture, half of ravioli. Spread any remaining alfredo sauce on top.
  3. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of your Instant Pot. Place plan with ravioli on top of a trivet with handles*. Lower the trivet and pan into the Instant Pot. 
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 25 minutes. When the time is up let the pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top and let melt. Use a spoon to scoop deep to get all the layers and serve garnished with a bit of parmesan and fresh basil.
