Ingredients
Scale
Produce
- 2 pounds mixed tomatoes, such as cherry, grape, Roma, or beefsteak, cut into irregular shapes
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- Handful basil leaves, for serving
Pantry
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 24 ounces frozen or refrigerated ravioli (no need to thaw frozen variety)
- Grated pecorino, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the ingredients.
- Combine Tomatoes, Garlic, and Olive Oil: On a rimmed sheet pan, place the chopped mixed tomatoes, thinly sliced garlic, and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper, then toss everything together to ensure an even coating.
- Add Ravioli and Roast: Add the ravioli directly to the sheet pan with the tomato mixture, tossing again to coat the pasta well. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
- Toss and Continue Roasting: Remove the sheet pan from the oven carefully. Use a flat spatula, preferably a flexible fish spatula, to lift and gently toss the ravioli and tomatoes together. Return the pan to the oven and continue cooking until the ravioli crisps around the edges and the tomatoes collapse, about 5 to 10 more minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and gently stir the mixture again. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Top with grated pecorino cheese and fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a flexible fish spatula for gently tossing the ravioli without breaking it.
- Mixed tomatoes provide a variety of flavors and textures that enhance the dish.
- Frozen ravioli can be used directly from the freezer, no need to thaw first.
- For a vegetarian option, ensure ravioli filling and pecorino cheese are vegetarian-friendly.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy ravioli and juicy roasted tomatoes.
