Step-by-Step Instructions for Butter-Toasted Ravioli
- Start by filling a large pot with salted water and place it over high heat. Bring the water to a rolling boil, which usually takes about 10 minutes.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully add the fresh or frozen cheese ravioli. Cook fresh ravioli for 3-5 minutes or frozen for 6-8 minutes, until they float and are tender but still firm (al dente).
- After cooking, use a slotted spoon or colander to drain the ravioli. Consider reserving a cup of pasta water for later.
- In a large skillet, combine unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and foam for about 1-2 minutes until it has a light golden hue.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet, stirring quickly to sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning and lower the heat slightly. Let the herbs bloom for about 30 seconds.
- Gently add the drained ravioli into the skillet, tossing them in the butter mixture to coat. Toast the ravioli for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the toasted ravioli, tossing gently to allow the cheese to melt and cling.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Butter-Toasted Ravioli to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.
