The most striking thing about this dish is the lightness of the lemony handkerchief ravioli. It goes together very quickly, making it a great weeknight dinner candidate.

Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté until browned, 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the lemon juice, Season with salt and pepper. Divide spinach among four plates.
