Ravioli with Pesto Sauce Recipe from addapinch.com

This ravioli recipe is one that I absolutely love for a quick lunch or supper. It comes together so quickly and easily that you’ll feel like you’ve forgotten something! While I’ve made homemade ravioli and it works beautifully in this recipe, I realize that if you are like me, there are some nights that you just need a filling warm meal on the table that didn’t take all day and that your family will love! It’s even better that it didn’t cost an arm and a leg! This is it!

This recipe uses just four ingredients and is ready in less than 10 minutes! That’s kinda hard to beat! 

I use a cheese ravioli from the refrigerated section of the grocery store or deli in this recipe, but you can easily whichever type you prefer. I do recommend the refrigerated section ravioli since it cooks more quickly and tastes so much like fresh pasta. While the ravioli is cooking, I mix together pesto and olive oil in a small measuring cup and pop it into the microwave to warm it. You can also heat it in a small skillet or sauce pan. Then, once the ravioli has cooked, you drizzle the pesto sauce over it and sprinkle grated Parmesan on top. Yum!

    This is a perfect busy night meal and meat filled ravioli are a lovely choice too! I have done this for many years, however, to cut a few calories that you never miss, substititute 1/4 cup of that nice pasta water for the olive oil. There is already plenty of oil in the pesto and that allows to you to sprinkle more cheese, yummmmmm!
