Ingredients

• 1 package (9 ounces) cheese ravioli
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

How to Make Cheese Ravioli with Tomato Sauce

1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the cheese ravioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. While the ravioli cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
3. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet along with dried oregano. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, gently add the cooked ravioli to the skillet. Toss to coat the ravioli evenly in the sauce.
5. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh ravioli if available for a more authentic taste.
• Experiment with different cheeses in the ravioli, such as ricotta or a blend of Italian cheeses.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• Make sure not to overcook the ravioli; they should be tender but firm to the bite.

Easy Variations

• Add sautéed vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers to the sauce for added nutrition.
• Mix in cooked Italian sausage or ground beef for a heartier meal.
• Swap out the tomatoes for a creamy Alfredo sauce for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with vinaigrette
• Garlic bread for dipping into the sauce
• Roasted vegetables for a balanced meal
• A glass of red wine, such as Chianti or Merlot
