Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds spinach ravioli or tortelloni
- 1 cup purchased marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add about 1/4 cup olive oil to the water to help prevent pasta from sticking. Add the ravioli and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain the ravioli, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Toss the ravioli with the remaining oil to coat.
Meanwhile, bring the marinara sauce to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking often. Whisk in the ricotta and enough reserved cooking water to thin the sauce to desired consistency. For a thicker sauce, use less pasta water; for a thinner sauce, add more water. Return the sauce to a simmer. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
Spoon 3 tablespoons of sauce over the bottom of each of 6 bowls. Arrange the ravioli over the sauce. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the ravioli. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and the basil, and serve.

Delicious. Was very easy to make and my picky preschooler even loved it.
