Total Time 6 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 10-12 cheese-filled ravioli or your favorite
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Slotted Spoon
  • small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
  • serving bowl or plate

Method
 

  1. Bring 3 to 4 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
  2. Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook according to package directions, about 4–6 minutes, until tender and cooked through.
  3. Use a slotted spoon to remove the ravioli from the water and transfer them to a serving bowl, reserving a little pasta water if desired.
  4. Heat the pesto and olive oil together in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl for 20–30 seconds until warm and combined.
  5. Spoon the warmed pesto and oil over the cooked ravioli and gently toss to coat, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese over the ravioli and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use store-bought or homemade pesto.
  • Reserve a little pasta water to adjust sauce consistency.
  • Warm the pesto gently to preserve flavor.
