Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 9 oz package of fresh cheese ravioli
- 3 TBSP butter
- 1 packed TBSP finely chopped fresh basil, plus extra for garnish
- Juice of 1/2 large lemon approx. 2 TBSP
- Handful of julienned zucchini, very thin
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
Garnishes
- Tiny fresh basil leaves, or ribboned basil leaves
- Grated parm
Instructions
- Cook your ravioli as per the package instructions.
- While water boils/ravioli cooks, heat a small skillet or saucepan over moderate heat. Add the butter and, once it's half melted, add the fresh basil and lemon juice. Stir until butter is completely melted and bring the heat to a very low simmer to infuse the butter with lemony basil goodness.
- Once the ravioli is ready, drain, and return it to its pot. Drizzle the infused butter mixture over the ravioli and carefully toss to coat. Add the julienned zucchini if you're using it, and hit it with some salt and pepper to taste.
- Plate the ravioli, and garnish with some fresh basil and freshly grated cheese.
Notes
Just a note to clarify that the julienned zucchini is to be tossed into the pasta uncooked. Cooking it will make it mushy.
