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.
