Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Ravioli Casserole

Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Ravioli Casserole

Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 3 tablespoon garlic minced
    • 2 tablespoons 
    • 4 ounces cream cheese
    • 2 cups 2% milk
    • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
    • 1 24-ounce package frozen ravioli
    • 2 cups fresh spinach rinsed and rough chopped
    • 2 to 3 cups cooked chicken chopped or shredded
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 3 tablespoons fresh basil cut chiffonade-style

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    • In a medium skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. I am in love with my  because they heat evenly and are super durable.
    • Add garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add flour and stir to combine. Cook 1 minute. Add cream cheese and cook for 2 minutes.
    • Add 1 cup milk and stir to combine. Once thickened and bubbling, add the remaining milk. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until cream cheese has melted and sauce thickens.
    • Add Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. Remove from heat.
    • Pour about 1/4 of the sauce into the bottom of a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish. Spread the sauce over bottom of the dish.
    • Add frozen ravioli to the baking dish and spread into an even layer. Top pasta with chopped spinach and chicken so the ravioli is covered.
    • Pour the rest of the sauce over the chicken and spread evenly around the baking dish. Sprinkle all over the top the casserole with mozzarella cheese.
    • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the ravioli is cooked. Turn your oven to broil on HIGH and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the top of the casserole is golden.
    • Carefully remove from the oven. Sprinkle basil over the casserole. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm with extra Parmesan if desired.
