I’ve yet to find a store-bought pasta/ravioli sauce that tastes great. This means fresh ravioli often gets overlooked, because it’s not going to match that restaurant experience.
And yet I really like the ravioli itself. So that set me on a course to make a really quick and easy, but REALLY tasty sauce for ravioli. Best of all, you cook the ravioli in the sauce you’re making - no need to boil it in a seperate pan.
One pan recipes are my favourite!!
Italian herb mix: This is a ready-made mixture, usually consisting of oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, sage and parsley. If you can’t get hold of it, then a mixture of oregano and thyme works well as a replacement.
Roasted tomatoes: I buy the ones at the deli counter (sometimes called ‘sun-soaked’ or ‘semi-dried’ tomatoes) that are bright red or orangey colour and are marinated in oil (rather than jarred sun-dried tomatoes, which are often a bit more brownish in colour). You can replace with the jar version if you like them more.
👩🍳PRO TIP You could serve this creamy tomato pasta sauce with regular store-bough pasta or this easy homemade pasta.
This recipe gives you enough sauce to coat the ravioli, with a little bit of sauce left at the bottom of the pan. If you like plenty of sauce, you can add in an extra splash of stock and cream.
Now the question is ‘What’s your favourite ravioli filling?’ Mine’s chicken and chorizo 😋
Also, should I post a recipe for homemade ravioli?
