This can be put together in the couple minutes it takes to boil fresh ravioli.
- 1 box Nella Pasta Ravioli
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch arugula or spinach, cut crosswise in 2-inch lengths if mature
- freshly grated Parmigiano, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Toss in the ravioli, and stir gently to separate.
Warm the oil over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold the finished pasta. Add the garlic and sizzle just a moment until fragrant. Remove from the heat.
When the ravioli are tender, drop the greens into the pot with them and instantly drain it all in a colander. Add to the warm garlic/oil in the skillet and toss to coat, grating on Parmigiano and grinding on pepper to taste.
Serves 2.
