What’s in your pantry? It is always good to keep items on hand for easy, semi-homemade meals. I keep staples like canned beans, diced tomatoes (roasted and plain), olives and others in stock for quick and easy meals that are easy on my budget. I picked up some ricotta and arugula ravioli and pasta sauce to make this dish. This dish took ten minutes to make and is packed with nutrients and vitamins. Though I prefer to make my own pasta sauce, I enjoyed this three-cheese tomato sauce from Trader Joe’s and added some fresh greens and herbs. In the future I would likely add some mushrooms for added nutrients red pepper flakes for heat. Check out the recipe below.
Ingredients:
1 pack of ravioli
1 jar of pasta sauce (of choice)
1 1/2 cups of fresh spinach
1 cup of arugula
1 tbsp. fresh Parmesan
2 tbsp. fresh basil
Directions:
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil over medium high heat.
- Rinse and chop basil. In a large skillet, add sauce, basil and greens and wilt over low heat.
- Add fresh ravioli and boil for three minutes.
- Add ravioli to sauce and grate in fresh cheese.
- Enjoy.
