Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2canwhole peeled tomatoes
2cloves garlic -peeled and left whole
1small red onion - finely sliced
2sprigs of basil
75mlextra virgin olive oil
150groasted sweet peppers
sea salt and black pepper to taste
2packets of tomato ravioli
1ball of buffalo mozzarella
1 large handful of freshly grated Grana Padano cheese
extra basil for garnish

Steps:

  • For the sauce combine tomatoes, garlic, onion, basil, sweet peppers and olive oil in a large shallow pan. Put over a medium heat and simmer for 1 ½ hours until rich in flavour. Season with salt and pepper if you wish. Blend till smooth in a food processor. Keep warm. Bring a large pot of water to the boil and season with salt. Add the ravioli and cook per packet instructions, this is a fresh product and should cook to perfection in about 3 minutes. If your pan of sauce is large enough you can cook the pasta in the sauce itself. To facilitate the attractive serving of this dish we will boil the pasta separately. To plate, place 4 tablespoons of sauce in each of your pasta bowls, top with the ravioli and finish with a drizzle of olive oil, torn basil leaves and some ripped buffalo mozzarella for extra extravagance. Serve with freshly grated Grana Padano cheese.
