What it is
These are fresh, pre-made ravioli filled with a vibrant pesto. The pasta dough is typically made from flour and eggs, creating a tender casing. The filling features basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, offering a classic Italian flavor profile. They are sold refrigerated and are ready to be cooked quickly.
How people cook with it
This ravioli is a convenient and flavorful option for a weeknight meal. It pairs well with simple sauces that complement the pesto.
- Quick weeknight dinner
- Elegant appetizer
- With a light cream sauce
- Tossed with cherry tomatoes
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the ravioli, ensuring they do not stick together. Cook for a short time, usually just a few minutes, until the ravioli float to the surface and are tender. Drain them carefully, reserving a little pasta water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce, such as a simple butter and sage sauce, a light marinara, or even just a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to dried ravioli, fresh ravioli cooks much faster and has a more delicate texture. The pesto filling offers a distinct herbaceous and nutty flavor that differs from cheese or meat fillings commonly found in other ravioli varieties.
