Bring 8 cups of salted water to a boil in a large pot.
While the water is heating, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, freshly chopped basil, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until warmed through. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Once the water is boiling, gently add the spinach ravioli and cook according to package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes), until they float to the surface.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked ravioli to a serving plate. Drizzle the sun-dried tomato and pine nut salsa over the ravioli.
Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and basil if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
