Chicken & Prosciutto Ravioli w/ Basil, Garlic & Tomato Sauce


Buotoni Pasta is one of my favorite fresh refrigerated pasta brand. Today, i'm going to try the Whole Wheat Ravioli. I always make my own sauce with fresh ingredients. I picked up some sweet basil, Thai basil and beef steak tomatoes at the farmer's market near my job. The sauce is so simple to make but it is very tasty.

INGREDIENTS: (Serves 4)
8-10 ounces of Boutoni Chicken & Prosciutto Ravioli
6 cloves of chopped garlic
1 large beefsteak tomato
20 pieces of fresh sweet basil leaves
15 pieces of fresh thai basil leaves (purple in color)
1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes
1 tsp dry Italian Seasoning
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup of water
3 tbs of Olive Oil

Boil ravioli for 10 minutes or as directed on the package. While the ravioli is cooking, heat the pan and add the oilve oil. Add the chopped garlic and stir until brown. Add the chopped tomato, stir and simmer for 3 minutes until the tomato releases its juice in medium heat. Add the sweet and Thai basil, italian seasoning, pepper flakes and water. Simmer for 2 more minutes until the sauce thickens and add salt and pepper to your tasting.

Remove the ravioli from boiling water, put in a large serving dish and top with the sauce. ENJOY!
