Ravioli Italiani
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 whole Small Onion, Chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 package Fresh Cheese Ravioli (20 Oz. Package)
- 1 container Refrigerated Pesto (7 Oz. Container)
- 1 jar Chopped Pimentos (2 Oz. Jar)
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Chop the onion and garlic.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- On another burner over high heat, start heating a large pot with enough water to cook the ravioli.
- When the skillet is hot, add the onions, a pinch of salt, and the sugar.
- Cover and stir periodically while waiting for the water to boil.
- The goal is to get the onions really soft but not to overly brown them.
- If the onions start to brown too much, reduce the heat a little and add a little water to the skillet.
- When the water comes to a rapid boil, add a good amount of salt to the water.
- Add the ravioli and stir.
- Cook the ravioli per the instructions on the package.
- Dont forget to stir the onions now and then.
- While the onions are softening and the ravioli is cooking, add the pesto, pimentos, olive oil, lemon juice, and a little salt and pepper to a medium bowl.
- Stir to combine.
- Two minutes before the pasta is done, add the garlic to the onions and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir to combine (leave uncovered for the remaining cooking time).
- After one minute, stir in the pesto mixture and stir to combine.
- Cook for about a minute to warm the pesto mixture.
- Use a spider or strainer to remove the ravioli from the water and add it immediately into the skillet with the pesto.
- Its OK if some water gets in the skillet.
- In fact, thats a good thing.
- If desired, add some salt and pepper to the ravioli, then gently fold the pesto over the ravioli and immediately take the skillet off the heat.
- Sprinkle a good amount of parmesan into the ravioli and stir.
- Spoon some ravioli onto a serving plate and top with more parmesan.
- Serve with garlic bread.
