Another semi-homemade marvel! Take a store bought pasta and bring it to life with this simple way to dress it up. You can use this idea with ravioli or any other pasta you might have on hand.
Ingredients:
- ravioli or any other pasta of your choosing (I used sun dried tomato, mozzarella and basil ravioli)
- 1/2 pint or so of grape tomatoes (halved)
- few tbsp of olive oil
- 1 shallot (large dice)
- 1 tbsp of italian seasoning blend
- salt and pepper
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and add the tomatoes, shallot, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the freshly cooked ravioli and toss with tomato and shallot mixture. Enjoy!
To what consistency did you cook down the tomatoes before adding the pasta? How much of their original juice do you want them to retain? And do you think sun-dried tomatoes would also work, or not enough moisture with those?
I didn’t cook the tomatoes down too much because I wanted them to retain their shape. So I let them retain most of their liquid, but you can cook them as much as you want. You can use sun-dried tomatoes, but they have quite a different taste. I’m sure it’ll turn out well and still taste good though.
