Chef Vinny, of Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace, shows News 12's Lily Stolzberg how to make Ravioli Caprese.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pack tomato basil ravioli (12 count)
½ cup olive oil
1 tbs shallots (minced)
1 tsp. garlic (minced)
1 cup grape tomatoes (halved)
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbs. basil (rough chop)
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
- In a sauté pan on medium-high heat, place the olive oil and allow it to come to temperature.
- Once the oil has come to temperature, add the shallots and begin to sauté.
- Once the shallots have become translucent, add the garlic and chili flakes, and sauté until the garlic becomes aromatic.
- Next, add the tomatoes and sauté for 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Place the ravioli into a pot of boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.
- Once the ravioli is cooked drain completely and place the ravioli directly into the sauté pan with the tomatoes.
- Mix gently to not break any of the ravioli and coat the ravioli with the sauce.
- Garnish with the chopped basil.
