RAVIOLI WITH TOMATO, BACON & SPINACH



Ravioli With Tomato, Bacon & Spinach image

This is a variation of a recipe from Giada de Laurentis on "Everyday Italian". She used proscioutto and arugula and I substituted bacon and fresh baby spinach. She only used cheese ravioli but I used beef ravioli too. I also added the green onions because I had some that I needed to use. This turned out awesome and I had to post this to keep for future use. I hope you enjoy!
