Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
  • Serving spoon

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Bring 3–4 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil in a large pot.
  • Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook according to package directions, about 4–6 minutes, until tender and cooked through.
  • While the ravioli cooks, warm the pesto and olive oil together in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 20–30 seconds until heated through; stir to combine.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked ravioli directly to a serving bowl or plates.
  • Spoon the warmed pesto-olive oil mixture over the ravioli and sprinkle evenly with shredded Parmesan before serving.

Notes

  • Use 3–4 quarts of water to prevent the ravioli from sticking.
  • Warm the pesto gently to preserve its bright flavor.
  • Adjust pesto amount to taste for a lighter or richer sauce.
