From the Test Kitchen

INGREDIENT IN FOCUS
Italian pancetta is seasoned, salt-cured meat made from pork belly (similar to bacon, but not smoked). It adds incredible depth of flavor and pleasant saltiness to a variety of dishes, especially pastas. You'll use it as the base of this decadent bake, which features tender, cheesy ravioli, verdant spinach, Calabrian chile paste, and more—all baked under a layer of melty mozzarella.

Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the spinach. Peel and thinly slice the shallot. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the baguette lengthwise.

Cook the pancetta
2 Cook the pancetta

In a medium pan (cast iron or oven-safe, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pancetta. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Carefully drain off and discard any excess fat.

Make the sauce
3 Make the sauce

Add the sliced shallot and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil). Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the tomato paste, oregano, and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Add the spinach, tomato sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and cream (shaking the packet before opening); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined and the spinach is wilted. Turn off the heat.

Bake the ravioli
4 Bake the ravioli

Add the ravioli to the pan; stir to combine. If your pan isn’t oven-safe, transfer the ravioli and sauce to a baking dish. Evenly top with the mozzarella (tearing into bite-sized pieces before adding). Carefully cover the pan with foil. Bake 11 minutes. Carefully remove the foil. Continue to bake 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. If desired, turn your oven to the broil function; broil 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown (watching carefully so it doesn't burn). Remove from the oven.

Make the garlic bread & serve your dish
5 Make the garlic bread & serve your dish
  • Meanwhile, place the halved baguette on a sheet pan, cut side up. Evenly spread the softened butter onto the cut sides of the bread; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a cutting board and carefully halve on an angle. Serve the baked ravioli drizzled with the pesto and sprinkled with the parmesan. Serve the garlic bread on the side. Enjoy!
