Reverse Ravioli with Balsamic Vegetables

5 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Reverse ravioli with red pepper, Vidalia onion, garlic and diced tomatoes. All come together with balsamic vinegar and Herbs de Provence. Ricotta is mixed with farfalle pasta.

Reverse Ravioli in a white bowl

Easy, colorful, delicious. Reverse ravioli with balsamic vegetables combines fresh red pepper, Vidalia or other sweet onion, diced tomatoes and a healthy splash of balsamic vinegar. Seasoned with Herbs de Provence. Herbs de Provence? As in from France? Well yes, sort of. This is not a typical herb that most of us keep in the pantry, but give it a try. You may even feel a bit of French sophistication when buying it. Usually Herbs de Provence is a combination of savory, fennel, basil, thyme, oregano and lavender! The flavor combination of this herb is surprisingly subtle and earthy. But back to our reverse ravioli recipe. Instead of cheese inside the pasta, fresh ricotta is mixed with farfalle pasta while warm and then topped with the balsamic vegetables. This dish comes together effortlessly and is impressive. A great vegetarian pasta dish, but you could easily add cooked chicken or sausage.

    This reminds me of a recipe my mom use to make when we were kids and it was one of my favorites (still is). I added spinach but followed the recipe exact! Turned out perfectly and just like mom use to make it 🙂

    This recipe was delicious. I made it for my husband and daughter and they ate it up. My in-laws came over the next day and the leftovers were gobbled up in seconds. Im definitely adding this to my Wesley menu. So easy for those busy week nights.
