Creamy Lemon Ravioli Recipe
This is one of my favourite ways to seriously up the game on ready-made ravioli. There’s no need to boil the ravioli separately, as it cooks in the sauce, so it makes a really quick meal, that only uses one pan.

Notes
Tip: Use your favourite fresh ravioli for this recipe. I think it works particularly well with spinach & ricotta, porcini or butternut squash-filled ravioli.
