Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 ounces Cheese ravioli
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 15 ounces Canned white beans (such as cannellini), drained and rinsed
- 4 cups Escarole, chopped
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions until tender. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the ravioli and set aside.
In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
Add the halved cherry or grape tomatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Stir in the drained and rinsed white beans, chopped escarole, and vegetable broth. Season with crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to taste.
Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, or until the escarole is wilted and tender and the beans are heated through.
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, gently tossing to combine. If the mixture seems dry, stir in a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the ravioli warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
