Baked Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli

we are officially in the thick of sweater weather and casserole season.  which if you think about it go hand-in-hand perfectly; know what i'm saying?

one of my favourite dishes in fall and winter is lasagna.

however, lasagna on a weeknight can be overwhelming & time consuming; between bus stop picks-ups and evening activities.

what's not time consuming?

baked ravioli.

all the flavours of lasagna in half the effort and time.

thursday night dinner for the win...

...and fridays leftover lunch win.

cheers.xo.
