Ingredients

• 16 ounces Cheese ravioli
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese ravioli and cook according to the package instructions until tender (typically 3-5 minutes). Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes to release their flavors.

Step 5

Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter mixture. If the sauce seems dry, add a tablespoon at a time of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 6

Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Gently mix in the chopped basil leaves.

Step 7

Serve the ravioli warm, topped with grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
