easy ravioli recipe

This pesto ravioli recipe takes just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes to make! And with the silky pesto-cream sauce, it tastes just as fancy as ravioli made from scratch. A couple cups of frozen peas get cooked right along with the pasta for some nutrition, but other veggies like asparagus, broccoli, or leafy greens would taste great as well. For a simple Italian dinner, you can serve this quick creamy pesto ravioli with some crunchy ciabatta garlic bread, white bean salad, or panzanella.

10-Minute Creamy Pesto Ravioli

Kosher salt

peas

basil pesto,

half and half or heavy cream

Extra virgin olive oil,

Red pepper flakes

Fill a large pot with water about 3/4 of the way. Bring the water to a boil and season with kosher salt. Add the ravioli and frozen peas to the boiling water. Follow the ravioli package instructions for cooking time (mine only took 5 minutes total). Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.

In a large bowl, combine the basil pesto and heavy cream, stir to mix well.

Add the cooked ravioli and peas to the pesto mixture. Add a little of the pasta cooking water (about ¼ cup to start), and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Toss to combine.

Taste and adjust seasoning or add more pesto to your liking. Finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or Aleppo Pepper. Serve immediately.

You need just 5 ingredients for this easy pesto ravioli recipe!

We've filled this gorgeous homemade ravioli with burrata and mozzarella. This delivers all the flavours of a caprese salad, with extra carbs. You're welcome.

Caprese Ravioli

’00’ Flour

Good Quality Organic Whole Eggs (Roughly Two Medium Eggs)

Ball Burrata

Fresh Mozzarella

Garlic Cloves

Chopped Tomatoes

Basil Leaves

Pesto, To Serve

To make the pasta dough, pour the flour out onto a clean work surface and create a well in the centre. Add the eggs and, using a fork, beat the eggs together. Slowly incorporate the flour into the centre of the well until you have a thick paste. Bring the walls of flour into the paste and knead until you have a smooth, springy dough. Wrap in cling film, or cover with an upturned bowl and rest for 30 mins.

Roll out the rested pasta using a pasta roller or a stand mixer attachment. Pass one-third of the dough through the widest setting, and keep working your way down until you have landed on the second thinnest setting. Cut the pasta sheets into 7x7cm squares and cover with a damp towel. Repeat until all the pasta is rolled out.

To make the ravs take a square of pasta and spoon 3 tsp of the burrata into the middle. Lightly brush the border of the pasta with water and carefully lower another square over the top, covering the cheese.

Carefully press your way around the filling, removing as much air as you can from the ravioli. Once it is mostly sealed, scoop up off the bench and press firmly around the edges to make sure the pasta is very sealed. You can trim the rav into any shape you like now, a fluted cutter is nice, cut into a heart, a star or leave as a square, up to you. Pop onto a semolina lined tray and repeat with the remaining ingredients, make a couple of extra if you can just in case any burst!

Now, make the speedy tomato sauce. Thinly slice the garlic cloves and add to a cold saucepan with 4 tbsp of olive oil. Set over a low heat and allow to slowly warm up, infusing the oil with the garlic flavour. Once the garlic smell is filling the room, tip in the tomatoes and season with salt. Cook for 3-4 mins until the raw taste has gone. We don’t want to cook this sauce too long, we want it to be bright and fresh.

Cook the ravioli in salted, boiling water for 1-2 mins and transfer to the tomato sauce. Toss gently to coat and divide between plates. Top with extra Parmesan, basil leaves and a drizzle of pesto.
