RAVIOLI PUTTANESCA

It is seldom that I make a recipe just as it is written,  but I did this one yesterday. It is from Woman's Day magazine, June issue.

Ravioli Puttanesca

 COOKS TIP

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb. cheese ravioli

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cook the ravioli according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until the garlic starts to sizzle, about 3 minutes. Add the olives and capers and cook for 2 minutes more.
  3. Add the tomatoes and toss to combine. Add the ravioli, spinach, and 1 teaspoon black pepper; toss until the spinach begins to wilt, 2 minutes. Fold in the basil and serve with grated cheese, if desired.
