This Easy Ravioli Sauce is a simple, flavorful, and quick sauce that elevates your ravioli in minutes. The combination of garlic, tomatoes, and herbs creates a classic marinara sauce that’s perfect for any pasta dish. The addition of tomato paste adds depth to the flavor, while the touch of sugar balances out the acidity of the tomatoes.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Directions:
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, oregano, and sugar (if using). Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- Let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the sauce over cooked ravioli, and garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
