Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Pasta

Back to school again means quick and easy meals are a must! Especially for the first couple of weeks. And they have to be delicious too! Here's a semi-homemade one that we enjoy and it takes less than 30 minutes. I made it several times this summer with our fresh basil and tomatoes from our garden and it is SO GOOD. Enjoy!




Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Pasta

Ingredients


1 (20-oz.) package refrigerated four-cheese ravioli             
1 (16-oz.) jar sun-dried tomato Alfredo sauce

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish, if desired.
