Instructions

Instructions and steps: 

Step 1 Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water, following packet directions, until tender. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid.

Step 2 Meanwhile, place pesto, tomatoes and cream in a medium saucepan. Heat over low heat until warmed through and combined. Add reserved cooking liquid. Stir to combine.

Step 3 Add pasta to sauce and toss generously to coat. Serve topped with rocket and lemon rind, and with a large green salad.

Variations

Use any light ravioli variation you like – and try adding some spinach leaves and a light spinach dip, instead of the rocket dip.

Hi David,

Unfortunately this product is no longer available - sorry for any confusion, this is an older recipe!

You can however replace it with another ravioli of your choice - try San Remo or Latina Fresh - it may just slightly increase the total amount of kilojoules, but should still be a low-kJ meal.

You could also try making your own ravioli if you're feeling creative!
