this easy meal comes together without much measuring. just toss, cook and enjoy, making it a perfect meal for a busy weekday.

There’s nothing I love more than tossing a bunch of things that I have lying around in the fridge and having it come out delicious!

I love anything spicy corn/basil/tomato so I had a feeling this combo would work out just fine, and no surprise, it did!

Even my husband (who definitely can be a little picky!) approved of it which, when that happens, puts my full confidence behind a dish!

There’s really no measuring necessary – it was one of those dishes that I just kind of grabbed things and tossed them in. I’ve put some estimates below, but don’t be afraid to adjust to suit your needs & preferences.

When I first thought of this dish, I wanted to add zucchini, but I had none on hand so I omitted it. That said, if you have one, definitely toss it in here.

And I used fresh mozzarella but this would be great with feta, goat cheese and burrata.

Basically – do whatever you want with this dish – it’s pretty hard to mess up! 🤗

Description

this easy meal comes together without much measuring. just toss, cook and enjoy, making it a perfect meal for a busy weekday.

Ingredients

Scale

1, 9 oz. package cheese ravioli (or preferred flavor)
Cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered (I used maybe about 1/2 cup)
1 large ear of corn, shucked & kernels removed
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
Olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
Red pepper flakes
Freshly chopped basil
Fresh mozzarella cheese, torn (feta or goat cheese would also work here)

Note: Zucchini, cut into half moons would also be a great addition to this dish – I just had none on hand when making it.

Instructions

Cook the ravioli until just al dente (1 minute or so less than package recommends)
While ravioli cooks, drizzle olive oil into a non-stick pan over medium low heat.
Add minced garlic and saute until just fragrant (~30 seconds) then add corn & tomatoes (if using, add zucchini here as well)
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and a little red pepper flakes. Cook until softened (about 5-7 minutes) and then add drained ravioli in, tossing to combine and heat through (about 1 minute).
Add more olive oil as needed then place everything into a bowl.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped basil and more red pepper flakes as desired
