But that&#8217;s not always how it plays out. Refrigerated (or frozen) ravioli is one of my favorite convenience foods, and here&#8217;s a trick for elevating it without a lot of fuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a microwave-safe dish that will hold your ravioli comfortably once it&#8217;s cooked, combine minced fresh garlic (we like lots), chopped sundried tomatoes, and olive oil (if your tomatoes are oil-packed you can use some of that, or add a few tablespoons in addition.) A pinch of dried herbs is a nice touch. Microwave for a few seconds, just to &#8220;bloom&#8221; the garlic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set a big pot of water on to boil, and cook ravioli according to package directions. A gentle boil is best. When it&#8217;s done, use a slotted spoon to fish out all the ravioli into your garlic-oil dish. Gently toss the ravioli with the sauce, then grate some Parmesan over the top in several stages, tossing gently in between. Serve with more cheese, and a simple salad or veggie side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ravioli is one of my favorite convenience foods, and here&#8217;s a trick for elevating it without a lot of fuss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1820,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[35,28,88],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1819"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1819"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1827,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1819\/revisions\/1827"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1820"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sparkledesign.net\/fidget\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
