Asparagus & Gruyere Ravioli

I love shopping at Costco.  Their grocery products are high quality and delicious.  So, I try to stock up whenever I can.  Today, just about everything I made for dinner came from Costco.  However, you could easily put this dinner together with items from your local grocer.  From start to finish, this meal took 30 minutes to prepare and cook.  It was a hit with the entire family.  Hope you enjoy it!

For the Ravioli:

1 package Asparagus & Gruyere Ravioli from Costco (or your favorite ravioli)
12oz grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1-2 cloves garlic, minced (or a heaping tsp jarred garlic)
1 tsp dried basil or 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 C dry white cooking wine or vegetable broth
salt & pepper to taste
Shredded paresan cheese, optional

Cook the ravioli according to package directions.  While they are cooking, heat up the oil in a saute pan over medium heat.  Add the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Add the garlic.  Cook until the tomatoes just begin to soften.  Add the wine (or broth) and reduce the heat.  You want the liquid to just barely boil for about 5-8 minutes.  Place the ravioli on a plate and spoon the sauce over the top.  Shred some parmesan if desired.

I served this with steamed artichokes and bread for a very filling and satisfying meal.

  1. Bought this today at Costco, didn't know what kind of sauce to go with it but I found your blog on search. Your recipe sounds great. Yum! I don't have fresh artichokes so I will try marinated ones (in a jar) but we'll see how it turns out. Thank you for the recipe.
