Cook Frozen Ravioli Recipe
Discover the perfect way to cook frozen ravioli with this easy, quick, and incredibly flavorful recipe guide.
Equipment
- Large pot for boiling
- Colander
- Skimmer or slotted spoon
- Large skillet (for sauce)
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pound Frozen ravioli
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 can 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup Fresh basil chopped
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Step 1 – Boil the Ravioli
- Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring to a boil.
- Add frozen ravioli to the boiling water.
- Cook according to package instructions, usually 4-6 minutes, until they float to the top and are tender.
- Note: Don’t overcrowd the pot. Cook in batches if needed to prevent sticking.
Step 2 – Prepare the Sauce
- While the ravioli cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes and red pepper flakes, simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in chopped basil.
- Warning: Keep the heat moderate to prevent the garlic from burning.
Step 3 – Combine and Serve
- Using a skimmer, transfer cooked ravioli directly from the pot to the skillet with the sauce.
- Gently toss the ravioli in the sauce to coat.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Note: Tossing the ravioli gently is key to keeping them intact.
Notes
- If you prefer a creamy sauce, add a splash of cream to the tomato sauce before adding the ravioli.
- For a golden finish, sprinkle the cooked ravioli with mozzarella and broil for 3-4 minutes until bubbly and slightly browned.
