This easy recipe for ravioli with white wine tomato sauce swaps out the jarred sauce for a quick buttery topping of cherry tomatoes and wine. Use the best cheese ravioli you can find and enjoy these glorious flavors!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 ounces fresh or frozen cheese ravioli (the best you can find!)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup white wine
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the tomatoes, wine, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and simmer until the tomatoes begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. Add butter and stir until it is melted into the sauce. 
  3. Cook the ravioli according to the package directions.  Right before the ravioli is done, scoop out one cup of the cooking water.
  4. Scoop the ravioli out of the pot with a slotted spoon and add it to the skillet with the tomato mixture and parsley. Stir it around gently.  Drizzle in some of the reserved pasta water if you need a little more liquid in the sauce.  Divide among warmed plates and serve!

Notes

    • Ravioli: You can use any kind you like (even the kinds stuffed with things other than cheese!) but do make sure you get the freshest kind you can! You can also swap in tortellini if you like.

    • Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes hold their flavor all year long, so we recommend these delicious small tomatoes over the big ones.

    • Wine: We tend to use a chardonnay for this recipe but you can use any kind you like.
