ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 lbs spinach ravioli or 1 1/2 lbs tortellini
- 1 cup marinara sauce, purchased
- 1⁄2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add about 1/4 cup olive oil to the water to help prevent pasta from sticking.
- Add the ravioli and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the ravioli, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
- Toss the ravioli with the remaining oil to coat.
- Meanwhile, bring the marinara sauce to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking often.
- Whisk in the ricotta and enough reserved cooking water to thin the sauce to desired consistency.
- For a thicker sauce, use less pasta water; for a thinner sauce, add more water.
- Return the sauce to a simmer and season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon 3 tablespoons of sauce over the bottom of each of 6 bowls. Arrange the ravioli over the sauce. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the ravioli. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and the basil, and serve.

I live about 20 minutes away from Vancouver, British Coumbia in the Historic Little Fishing City of Ladner, BC, this photo is just a view from one of the many little Islands that surround Vancouver Island and Vancouver.
I am close to many Berry and Fruit Farms, Organic Farms and plentiful Seafood. I am currently a part-time Private Chef for a client in Vancouver , she keeps my job very interesting snd challenging. I am always looking for recipes to prepare for her. Most of the recipes I post have been successful with clients or family over the years however I am pretty lazy about entering them in my cookbook, but I am getting better. Also after being online for years I am utilizing Recipezaar as a means to organize all my online saved recipes and recipes yet to try. My other work days are working with my Dad in the Family Business which is in Transportation .
It says passions, well, I guess I have a passion for the search, the pouring over of recipes in cookbooks and the internet, most of the time I don't end up making any of them but I just love to look.
