Hello All,
Well, I have not always been one to enjoy veggies, no I am more a Stew Beans and Rice or Rice and beans person. Yes! I did not know how important vegetable was going to be in my life. Really, I disliked vegetable soup or any vegetable except vegetable salads but that is because of the dressing (homemade or brand.) Psst, today I will share a recipe your and your family will enjoy – Easy Spinach Sauce with Ravioli (Spanish recipe included)!
Now, I have found ways to good memories that I enjoy eating my vegetables and actually drinking them as well. It is really amazing how far I have come and would try many ways to encourage others to eat or drink their vegetables. They really make a difference in your health but we take the vegetables for granted until it is sometimes too late.
Ok, we enjoy eating spinach but only because I remembered how much we used to enjoy grandma’s delicious Spinach Sauce with Pasta but I revised the recipe to Easy Spinach Sauce with Ravioli because it really is, try it.
One important fact that I must relate or tell you: there’s a compound in spinach that blocks the absorption of calcium and iron. This is easily solved by pairing spinach with a food high in vitamin C. Yes, a quick and easy solution would be oranges, lemon, mandarin and cantaloupes to a quick salad. Another way to reduce the power of oxalic acid is to boil the spinach leaves for at least two minutes. In this instance, we can add green tomatoes or red tomatoes, yeah makes it flavorful and colorful.
So let’s begin the recipe and begin cause I am getting hungry with just the thought!!

- 1 small onion diced
- In a large sautê pan, simmer water and add ravioli, cook as per instructions.
- Add chopped spinach, onions and garlic to blender or food processor, add water and press boost or to make smoothie but not as much water.
- Oh add chopped tomatillos as well, if you decide to use. This is good acid which helps boost the iron in spinach.

- Garnish with cheese and red chopped tomatoes on top with onions if desired. Serve warm.
