This is a super simple and quick but delicious meal you can make in 20 minutes. It uses refrigerated or frozen grocery store ravioli and the sauce is only a few ingredients, but they are ones that pack in the flavor.
I had half a jar of sun dried tomatoes left from when I made seared shrimp with sun dried tomato risotto that I wanted to use up so this was the perfect recipe to do that. The sauce for the dish is made from garlic, sun dried tomatoes, dried herbs, half and half, dijon mustard, spinach and parmesan.
You can use any flavor of ravioli or tortellini or even regular pasta for this. I used cheese and spinach ravioli. You can also top with julienned fresh basil for a pop of freshness when eating. And of course top with more parmesan when serving. Enjoy!
