How to Make Zesty Ravioli Skillet

How to Make Zesty Ravioli Skillet Lisa: The Pampered Chef’s Zesty Ravioli Skillet is perfect for those hectic week nights. We need to have little or no time to cook. The secret is using frozen ravioli and cooking it right in the sauce and you won't believe how easy it is to prepare, and it's easy on the budget too, around $2.00 a serving. See for yourself. Female: I'm going to measure a third of a cup of heavy whipping cream into the easy read measuring cup. And the whipping cream is going to add both richness and flavor to the sauce, and you only made a small amount. Lisa: And as you can see, I’ve already rinsed the baby spinach leaves and placed in large mesh colander. You know it's always a good practice to wash all your fresh pouters even though the package says it's been pre-washed. Female: You’re right. Now, the recipe calls for six ounces of grated provolone cheese, I’ve already grated four. And so, I'm going to finish the remaining two ounces using the ultimate mandolin. Okay, to start the sauce, we’re going to preheat the12-inch skillet over medium fry heat with a table spoon of olive oil until, it shimmering. Lisa: Next, I'm going to finally chop a seeded in stem to jalapeño using the food chopper. Female: You know the food chopper is such a great tool for that and it chops it in just seconds. Lisa: And you know what Karen, if somebody would prefer more heat in the sauce, they can certainly leave the seeds in jalapeño. Karen: That’s a great tip. Okay, I’ve added that to our oil and we’ll go ahead and sauté this for about one minute until it’s crisp tender. Okay, I think we can add the garlic. Lisa: Okay, I’ve already pressed two cloves of garlic and I’ll just press the third one directly into the pan. And cook for about 15 to 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, we’re going to add two cans of diced tomatoes with onions, a half of teaspoon of salt, and a half of a teaspoon of black pepper. Karen: Okay. Lisa: Then cook for one to two minutes until simmering. So we’re going to add a bag of frozen ravioli directly to the skillet. What you want to do is stir it to evenly coat the ravioli and then we’ll cook four to five minutes or until the ravioli is tender. Karen: What a great time saver to not have to thaw the ravioli or to cook it in water ahead of time and the sauce is going to impart a great flavor to the pasta as well. Okay. Lisa: Now we’re going to add the cream and you’ll simply stir again and we’ll cook for another one to two minutes or until it comes back to a simmer. Karen: Now we’re ready to add the toppings to our dish. Okay, to finish our dish, we’ll just go ahead and sprinkle the top with our fresh spinach and we’ll cover with the lid. We’ll let this simmer for one to two minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Lisa: The colors are so vibrant Karen. Karen: Sure are. Lisa: And you know what the spinach add such a nice freshness to this recipe. Karen: Oh, it's nice and wilted. And we’ll go ahead and add our provolone cheese. Okay, now we’ll put the lid back on for one to two minutes until the cheese is melted. Lisa: Oh Karen, this just looks delicious and it was so easy to prepare.
