For this recipe, I used store-bought ravioli stuffed with pesto. You can also use cheese stuffed ravioli, or pretty much any kind of ravioli you see in the store. You can make your own ravioli if you like too. Back in the day I used to make my own homemade Italian style ravioli from scratch, such as these spinach and goat cheese ravioli and in these delicious spinach and ricotta cheese ravioli. To make ravioli taste delicious and not boring or bland, you have to make sure the ravioli is accompanied by something that enhances its flavor, such as a delicious sauce or a bed of vegetables. In this case, I sautéed chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped artichokes, capers and spinach in olive oil and garlic and then added cooked ravioli into all of this deliciousness.
