Ingredients
3 tbsp sun-dried tomato pesto (Scala or Delallo recommended)
1 clove garlic, minced
3–4 fresh basil leaves, sliced
125ml (1/2 cup) light/single cream (20% fat content)
125ml (1/2 cup) reserved pasta water
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
Cook the ravioli according to package directions.
While ravioli cooks, prepare the sauce: In a frying pan over low heat, add sun-dried tomato pesto and garlic. Stir to combine.
Add sliced basil leaves and cream. Let the sauce simmer for 1–2 minutes.
Once ravioli is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
Add ravioli and half of the reserved water to the sauce. Toss gently to coat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Serve hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For a richer sauce, substitute heavy cream if desired.
Works great with cheese or spinach ravioli.
Add chili flakes for a bit of spice.
You can double the sauce recipe for larger servings or freeze extras.
