EGGPLANT AND TOMATO SAUCE RAVIOLI


Today's recipe is ravioli, These are small square parcels of pasta filled with meat, cheese, spinach etc.These Ravioli are boiled and cooked with a cream, cheese, or tomato sauce.

I always love to eat ravioli and prefer to prepare ravioli with lots of new versions.
This is one of the easiest and quick recipe.

Ingredients :

1 pound cheese ravioli (use any flavour ravioli)
4 tsp olive oil
3 Cloves garlic chopped
1 medium size onion chopped
1 egg plant chopped in to cubes
2 cups pasta sauce or marinara sauce or tomato sauce
1/3 cup cream cheese optional
Red pepper
Salt
Parmigianno-Reggiano cheese for garnishing

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli, until they float, 5 to 10 minutes.
In a large skillet or saute pan, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
When hot, add the eggplant and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggplant is tender and lightly golden, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes longer.
When the eggplant is cooked , add the cream cheese, pasta sauce, red pepper flakes and salt, and toss gently but thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Now add cooked ravioli to the tomato sauce and mix gently, let it cook for 5 more minutes.
when ravioli is ready to serve garnish with grated Parmigianno-Reggiano cheese.
