Cheese and tomato ravioli with artichokes

Cheese Ravioli with Fresh Tomato and Artichoke Sauce
The garden-fresh flavor of Roma tomatoes is complemented by tart marinated artichokes in a delectable sauce that can be prepared in less time than it takes to cook up a package of fresh cheese ravioli.

Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 5 Minutes
Ready In: 25 Minutes
Yields: 6 servings


INGREDIENTS
2 (9 ounce) packages fresh cheese ravioli
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound roma tomatoes - peeled, seeded and chopped
1 (6.5 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts
1/2 cup chopped green onions
3 cloves crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS
Cook ravioli according to package directions.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over a medium high flame. Add tomatoes, artichokes, scallions, garlic, and salt and pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are warmed through. Remove from heat.
Drain pasta well. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with 1 teaspoon oil. Add half of the sauce to the ravioli; toss gently, but thoroughly to mix. Transfer ravioli to a large serving platter. Pour remaining vegetable sauce over ravioli. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.


*Never say never. I was not a fan of artichokes until my friend Megan brought this meal to us after Milo was born. I still can't seem to make it as well as she did!
