Ingredients
  

Pasta and Vegetables
  • 1 package package of fresh or frozen ravioli (your choice of filling) Choose your favorite filling for the ravioli.
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered Canned artichokes work best.
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
Cooking Essentials
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic adds the best flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for garnishing Use as much as desired for topping.

Method
 

Cooking the Ravioli
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions until they float to the top—this usually takes around 3-5 minutes for fresh, and about 7-10 for frozen.
Sautéing the Vegetables
  1. While the ravioli are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until they’re warmed through.
  2. Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, which will only take a minute.
  3. When the ravioli are ready, drain them (but reserve a little pasta water just in case). Add them to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently toss everything together, adding a splash of pasta water if the mix looks a bit too dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving the Dish
  1. Serve your colorful creation on plates and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Voilà! Dinner is served!

Notes
