omnomnomI can't take credit for the recipe, I got it from one of those little mini-cookbooks that sit by the grocery store checkout.
Cook 1 bag (24 oz) ravioli per directions on bag.
Cook approx. 8-12 oz of veggies. Green beans, Roma Tomatoes (sliced grape tomatoes also work), and Yellow Bell Peppers make a nice colorful mix. Asparagus and Snap Peas can also be used. All veggies should be diced/sliced into approx. 1" pieces.
Saute veggies in a pan before tossing them with the cooked & drained ravioli. If you're just doing green beans or asparagus, I like throw them in the pot with the ravioli while its cooking to save time & pans.
Sauce is 1/2 cup sour cream mixed with 3 tablespoons pesto (this is probably my favorite part). This will cover all the above, but won't be overly 'saucy'. I keep thinking after I make this that 'next time' I want to increase the sauce mix a bit. I like lots of veggies in with my ravioli though, so if you like less veggies then you'll have plenty of sauce.
The pesto cream sauce doesn't go so well with beef ravioli, but cheese, mushroom, artichoke, or other such types of ravioli are all good.
This is one of my favorite meals, not only because it's yummy, but it's also very quick & easy. I like quick & easy. :)
