Cheesy Toasted Ravioli With Pesto image

A different way of preparing ravioli - they aren;t baked or boiled but browned in butter, simmered in broth and cream and finished in a broiler with pesto, goat cheese and tomatoes. From Cook's Country April/May 2010. Make sure to use homeade or store-bought refrigerated pesto. The shelf-stable pesto won't taste as good.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a different pesto next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds in the pesto. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my ravioli turned out soggy. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5. The pesto was good, but the ravioli was a little bland.

This recipe was a disaster! The pesto was too oily and the ravioli was mushy.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The pesto was a little bland and the ravioli was a bit dry.

I'm not usually a fan of ravioli, but this recipe changed my mind. The pesto was the perfect addition.
