Quick and Easy Ravioli and Vegetables
I made and served this meal in less than half an hour, including cleaning all the dishes used in its preparation!
Ingredients
- Frozen Ravioli (I used 1/2 cheese and 1/2 portabella mushroom ravioli)
- 2 medium heads of broccoli
- Bag of frozen peas w/ pearl onions
- Italian salad dressing (I used a kind with basil and romano in it)
- Parmesan Cheese
Directions
Put a large pot of water on high.
While you are waiting for your water to boil wash and cut your broccoli.
Once water is brought to a boil add ravioli (I fed 4 people and put in 40 ravioli) and add Broccoli.
Boil for 3-5 minutes (or how ever long your frozen ravioli directions call for on the bag).
Finally add the frozen peas, these do not need long to cook, less than a minute.
Strain water, and serve and garnish with parmesan.
