Baking Tips
Use any seasonal vegetables you have on hand - asparagus, broccoli, or mushrooms work great in this dish.
For a protein boost, add cannellini beans or sautéed chicken breast chunks to the mix.
Fresh ravioli cooks much faster than frozen, so watch cooking times carefully to prevent overcooking.
Save some pasta cooking water - the starch helps create a silky sauce that clings to the ravioli and vegetables.
For a creamier version, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream or mascarpone cheese when you add the ravioli to the vegetables.

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
07
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
08
3 cloves garlic, minced
09
1/2 cup vegetable broth
10
2 tablespoons butter
11
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
12
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
13
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
14
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
15
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
16
Salt and black pepper to taste
17
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Instructions

01
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook ravioli according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
02
While the ravioli cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
03
Add the onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.
04
Add the zucchini, yellow squash, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften but remain slightly crisp.
05
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
06
Add the cherry tomatoes, vegetable broth, butter, lemon juice, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
07
Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to burst and the sauce slightly reduces.
08
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the vegetables. Gently toss to coat with the sauce. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
09
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
