I call this "Runner's Ravioli" because it's got everything you need to fuel up the night before a big workout. Also because you can literally make it running in the door after a busy day of work, and it's done before the kids finish their homework! :)

Ingredients For runner's ravioli

  • 1 large pkg
    cheese ravioli from the deli section of your supermarket
  • 2 c
    vegetable - use pre-washed and chopped broccoli florets, frozen peas, pre-trimemd (not canned) fresh green beans or whatever combination of veggies you kids like the most!
  • 1/4 c
    good-quality olive oil
  • 1/2 c
    shredded parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • optional: fresh chopped basil

How To Make runner's ravioli

  • 1
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt.
  • 2
    While water is heating, assemble ingredients. I always use either frozen mixed veggies or pre-prepped bags of veggies from the grocer - this is a busy-night meal, after all! If you've got the time to chop and prep, all the better...
  • 3
    Add veggies to boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.
  • 4
    Add ravioli and cook according to package directions. Usually just a few minutes.
  • 5
    Drain well in a colander and return to pot. DO NOT RINSE!
  • 6
    Gently stir in olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
  • 7
    As you serve each dish, sprinkle generously with the shredded parmesan.
  • 8
    Serve with crusty bread and butter.
