"Found this on Recipes of the world. So quick and easy and kids love it. I like to use the chicken ravioli I get at Sam's club But, any kind will do. Sometimes I Use an Alfredo sauce with the chicken ravioli."

This was really good! I used beef ravioli and cooked it right in the sauce and water mixture to save a step. Also, I just dotted the top of the sauce/ravioli mixture first with the spinach and then the ricotta mixture on top of the spinach. That gave it more of a layered look, like lasagna. My husband and I really enjoyed this with a salad and some breadsticks. I'll make it again!

Good idea, easy execution but I haven't used ricotta in dishes in a while (use cottage cheese instead). I'd forgotten how gritty ricotta is...cc is much creamier. Not a fan of the texture at all. Kids wouldn't eat it but they're not big pasta fans so that was expected ;). May try again with cc and add ground sausage or something to the sauce.

Very good. Next time I'll try the chicken and alfredo sauce.
