Ingredients
  

For the Ravioli
  • 1 package store-bought herbed ravioli fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced any color works, red is preferred
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach

Method
 

Cooking the Ravioli
  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes.
Sautéing the Veggies
  1. While the ravioli cooks, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
  2. Add the minced garlic and let it get fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Toss in the zucchini, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes, and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender but still crisp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Finishing Touches
  1. Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt for about 2 minutes.
  2. Once the ravioli is cooked, drain it and gently fold it into the skillet with the sautéed veggies. Toss everything together to coat.
  3. Plate the dish, sprinkle with fresh basil, and serve.
