Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 ounces Cheese ravioli
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Zucchini, chopped
- 1 medium Yellow squash, chopped
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 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 and cook the cheese ravioli according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the ravioli and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt completely. Stir in the reserved pasta water, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create a light sauce.
Gently add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, tossing it with the vegetables and sauce to coat evenly.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Gently toss again to combine.
Serve the ravioli with fresh vegetables immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan and basil if desired.
