Look for high-quality canned ravioli that uses good ingredients and has a flavorful sauce. You can read reviews or try different brands to find the one you prefer. Sauteed Vegetables: One way to elevate canned ravioli is by adding sautéed vegetables. Heat some olive oil in a pan and sauté diced onions, garlic, bell peppers, mushrooms, or any vegetables of your choice until they are tender and slightly caramelized. This will add depth of flavor and texture to the dish. Seasoning and Herbs: Taste the canned ravioli before serving and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can enhance the flavor by adding herbs and spices like dried basil, oregano, thyme, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Experiment with different seasonings to find the combination that suits your taste. Fresh Ingredients: Consider incorporating fresh ingredients to complement the canned ravioli. For example, chop up some fresh basil or parsley and sprinkle it over the dish before serving. This will add brightness and freshness to the overall flavor profile. Cheese Topping: If you’re a cheese lover, grate some Parmesan, mozzarella, or another cheese of your choice over the ravioli before serving. Place the dish under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will create a delicious cheesy crust that elevates the dish. Custom Additions: Get creative and add your own twist to the canned ravioli. You can incorporate cooked Italian sausage, ground beef, or shredded chicken for added protein. Or mix in some roasted tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or capers for extra depth of flavor. Fresh Garnishes: To give the dish a finishing touch, top it with fresh garnishes such as chopped parsley, basil leaves, or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. These simple additions can enhance the visual appeal and add an extra layer of flavor. Remember, while canned ravioli may not match the taste of homemade ravioli, these tips can help elevate the flavor and presentation to make it a more enjoyable meal. Experiment, have fun, and discover your own unique ways to enhance the canned ravioli experience!
