Description
A quick and flavorful ravioli dish featuring tender cheese ravioli sautéed with sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, fresh spinach, and a touch of garlic and red pepper flakes, perfect for a wholesome vegetarian meal in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Pasta
- 10 oz ravioli (cheese ravioli, pesto-filled, or your choice)
Vegetables & Add-ins
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 10 oz mushrooms (cremini, button mushrooms, or baby portobellos), sliced
- 5 oz fresh spinach
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Oils & Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli until they are al dente, usually about 4-5 minutes depending on the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
- Sauté sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms: Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and sliced mushrooms to the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to soften and combine flavors.
- Add spinach, garlic, and red pepper flakes: Stir in the fresh spinach, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Continue to cook and stir until the spinach wilts completely, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine ravioli and final olive oil: Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Gently stir and reheat everything together over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
- Season: Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute cheese ravioli with any preferred filling such as pesto, mushroom, or spinach ravioli.
- Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for extra flavor, or rehydrate dry sun-dried tomatoes in warm water before chopping.
- For additional protein, consider adding grilled chicken or tofu if not vegetarian.
- If you like it spicier, increase the red pepper flakes to suit your taste.
- This dish pairs well with a light side salad or garlic bread.
