Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add diced chicken and cook until slightly browned (about 5-6 minutes). Add in the broccoli florets, garlic, and salt. Cook until broccoli has softened slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove chicken and broccoli from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the butter and cook until the mixture is golden, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring the mixture to a simmer then stir in 1 cup of mozzarella and all of the parmesan. Let simmer until the cheese has melted and sauce has thickened. Add in the chicken and broccoli mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Lay half of the ravioli in a single layer (overlapping slightly if necessary) on the bottom of the baking dish, then top with half of the remaining sauce. Repeat with remaining ravioli and remaining sauce. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and bake 25-30 minutes until sauce is bubbly and ravioli are tender.
- If you want a golden top to your dish, broil for 2-3 minutes on high. Let dish sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with basil leaves, optional.

BAKED ALFREDO PASTA WITH BROCCOLI RABE AND LEMON
One of the great things about baked pastas is that you can get two different textures in one dish. Take the typical pasta Alfredo that's prepared in a skillet: It's delightfully creamy and lush, but the same, bite after bite. But add a green vegetable to that Alfredo pasta, pile it into a dish, top it with melty cheese and a crunchy bread crumbs, then bake it, and you get a vegetarian dinner that's got it all. If broccoli rabe isn't your thing, you can substitute cut asparagus or broccoli florets.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Place the butter in a 9-by-13-inch/3-quart pan or baking dish and transfer it to the oven to melt while the oven heats; remove it from the oven once it's melted.
- In a small bowl, stir together the panko, 1/4 cup Parmesan and the lemon zest. Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter from the baking pan, stir until the panko is moistened with butter, then season with salt and pepper.
- When the water's boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest. During the last minute of cooking, add the broccoli rabe. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and broccoli rabe.
- Whisk the cream, garlic and pasta water into the melted butter in the baking dish until smooth. Add the remaining Parmesan in large handfuls, vigorously whisking until smooth and combined. Add the pasta, broccoli rabe and half the mozzarella. Taste, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir until very combined.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella, then sprinkle evenly with the panko mixture. Bake until the mozzarella has melted and the panko is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh broccoli for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk and butter instead. Just add 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of butter to the sauce.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the sauce, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach.
- Serve the ravioli and broccoli Alfredo immediately, or it will start to thicken.
Conclusion:
Ravioli and broccoli Alfredo is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover ravioli. The creamy Alfredo sauce is rich and flavorful, and the broccoli adds a pop of color and nutrition. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
