This turned out pretty good! I followed the directions, but I did add about a tablespoon of minced garlic, because to me, it isn't pasta without garlic! I also cut back the ravioli to only 8oz, because that was all I had, and 5 oz seemed a lot for one serving. Glad I did, 5 would have been overkill. I'll make this again, but next time I'll use fresh onions, instead of onion powder. Thanks for a good recipe that let me use the tiny grape tomatoes I had growing wild from last years crop!

I used dried ravioli and amended the sauce recipe slightly. I sautéed onion and garlic in olive oil prior to adding the (halved) grape tomatoes. I let the tomatoes cook down and release some of their juices and added a splash of red wine along with salt and pepper. I added the spinach to this impromptu sauce just long enough to wilt, then stirred in the cooked and drained ravioli. Very simple, flavorful dish topped with fresh grated Parmesan cheese. I might not have been as happy without the addition of the garlic and real onions. My carnivore hubby didn't mind this meatless meal.
