Ingredients

• 1 pound Cheese ravioli (fresh or store-bought)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Artichoke hearts (packed in water), chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
• 1 gallon Water (for boiling ravioli)
• 1 tablespoon Salt (for boiling water)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with 1 gallon of water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring it to a boil over high heat.

Step 2

While the water is heating, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Add the chopped artichoke hearts to the skillet and simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Season the sauce with red pepper flakes, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Once the water has reached a rolling boil, add the cheese ravioli. Cook according to the package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes for fresh ravioli), then use a slotted spoon to transfer the ravioli directly into the skillet with the tomato and artichoke sauce.

Step 8

Gently toss the ravioli in the sauce until coated, being careful not to break the delicate pasta.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the dish. Toss lightly to distribute.

Step 10

Serve the ravioli warm, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
