Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cheese ravioli
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese ravioli and cook according to the package instructions until tender (typically 3-5 minutes). Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes to release their flavors.
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter mixture. If the sauce seems dry, add a tablespoon at a time of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Gently mix in the chopped basil leaves.
Serve the ravioli warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
