Quick Ravioli & Sauce

The last few days have been extremely busy. I wasn't really feeling up to cooking a proper meal today. Given that I'd been planning on putting some ravioli in the kidlet's lunch, I figured I'd just cook that up and cobble together some sort of sauce while it was cooking. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, all things considered.

Tomato-Spinach Cream Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 150g frozen spinach
  • 1 (400mL) tin diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 c. pesto
  • 1/3 c. heavy (35%) cream
  • 1/4 c. grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 c. grated pecorino Romano

Directions

  1. Cook onion in olive oil over medium heat until softened and beginning to brown.
  2. Season to taste with salt and pepper, add frozen spinach, and cover.
  3. Add tomatoes and pesto and continue to cook, covered, until spinach is fully thawed.
  4. Stir in cream and both cheeses and simmer for a few more minutes until sauce is heated through and well-combined.
  5. Toss with pasta of choice and enjoy!
