Who comes up with this stuff? The Ravioli board? Anyway it is national ravioli day so I thought we’d celebrate with some of JeffreyW’s great photos and one of my favorite recipes.

 

Ravioli w/ Rosemary Basil Cream Sauce

• 1 cup heavy cream*
• 1 tsp crushed dried rosemary (or one sprig fresh)
• 4 – 6 fresh basil leaves, minced
• 20 oz frozen cheese ravioli
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 3 tbsp green onion tops, chopped
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

2 saucepans

Combine cream & spices in saucepan, bring to a boil, stirring constantly, reduce heat and simmer until reduces to ½ cup, about 15 minutes. Cook ravioli according to package directions. Drain and return to pan. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper & cream sauce. Toss. Add scallion tops and parmesan.

*You can absolutely substitute whole or non-fat milk for heavy cream and mix well with 1 tbsp flour
