potato ravioli turned potato pesto casserole

i got the idea to try and make ravioli from potatoes instead of dough,

although it didn't work out as planned, it was still really tasty!

i left the potatoes to boil too long, and they became too soft to shape into ravioli,

so i laid them out in a casserole dish, layered the pesto filling in between the potato, and topped with a tomato sauce.

potato pesto casserole

• 2 large potatoes, sliced into thin sheets
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic
• 5-6 large mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon italian seasoning

in separate pan, heat oil

add onion and garlic, cook until tender
