Notes

Expert Tips

  1. Fresh ravioli always tastes best in any recipe. But if you are in a pinch, feel free to use store-bought/frozen ravioli. Follow the package instructions to cook the ravioli.
  2. Ravioli stuffed with a combination of cheeses, cream cheese, ricotta cheese, basil pesto, sauteed/blanched spinach, meat such as beef/pork/chicken, lobster, crab, prawns/shrimp, pumpkin, butternut squash, mushrooms, etc. These stuffings complement well with the sauce.
  3. To make this sauce creamy, add a splash of heavy cream. Add some freshly grated parmesan when simmering the sauce to enhance the taste.
  4. If the sauce gets too thick as it cools, it can be thinned down using a couple of tablespoons of stock or water and simmered for a few minutes on the stovetop or warmed up in a microwave.
  5. Make-ahead and Storage Instructions: This ravioli dish can be easily made ahead of time. Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 5-7 days and in the freezer for up to a month. Ravioli can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock.
  6. Serving suggestion: A side of salad such as this protein-packed Kale Salad and bread such as rosemary garlic focaccia goes well with a plate of ravioli.
