Preparation

What You Need

(700 g) 1 package fresh ravioli
1 cup (250 ml) 18% table cream
1 cup (250 ml) preferably extra smooth ricotta cheese, (about 8 oz/250 g)
1 tsp (5 ml) chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh basil, chives, sage or
parsley
Salt
Pepper
1 cup (250 ml) chopped drained roasted red peppers

Instructions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook ravioli according to package directions just until tender. Drain well.

Return pot to low heat, add cream, ricotta and rosemary and cook, stirring, for about 4 min or until ricotta is slightly melted. Add ravioli and basil and toss gently to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into serving dishes and sprinkle with roasted red peppers.


Tips

Prepared roasted red peppers can be found in packages with the olives, in jars and in some deli bars or you can make them yourself. You’ll need about 2 large or 1-1/2-cup or 12-oz (375 mL) package or jar to get 1 cup (250 mL) chopped and drained.

For the Adventurous: Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled Canadian blue cheese with the ricotta and add 2 oz (60 g) prosciutto, cut into strips and sautéed until crisp with the red peppers.
