Ingredients

  • 1 package Cheese Ravioli (9 Oz)
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock (optional)
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cups Onion, Chopped
  • 2 cups Fresh Green Beans, Ends Trimmed And Cut Into Bite Size Pieces
  • 1 clove Garlic, Chopped Finely
  • 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese

Method

  • In a large pot, bring 4 cups salted water (or two cups water, two cups chicken stock) to a boil.
  • Add ravioli and cook according to package instructions.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt butter and add olive oil.
  • Saute onions until they just begin to become translucent then add green beans, garlic and red pepper flakes.
  • Cook until you can smell the garlic (2 5 minutes) and then lower the heat.
  • If you find that your pan in too dry add a bit more olive oil.
  • When the ravioli are done, strain and add into saute pan.
  • Raise heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring and tossing occasionally.
  • The green beans should not be cooked though, just heated.
  • They will have a nice crunch to them to contrast the ravioli.
  • You could use asparagus or broccoli rather than the green beans.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan.
  • You could also use 4 cups of chicken stock to cook the ravioli and reserve the stock then add all the sauteed ingredients into it to make a light soup!
