    This pesto ravioli was inspired by a delicious pesto mozzarella salad.  Colorful cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, Mozzarella cheese are all combined together with ravioli and smothered with basil pesto.   This recipe couldn't get any easier!  Just chop the veggies, cook the ravioli, and mix everything with pesto.  Perfect meatless pasta recipe for a busy weeknight!  Crave some protein with ravioli?  Try this chicken ravioli with veggies.

    I used store-bought cheese ravioli.  There are so many kinds of high-quality ravioli sold in the grocery stores these days.   You can use any type of ravioli - stuffed with ricotta cheese, spinach, or pesto.  They will all work great!

    Want to make your own ravioli?  If you like goat cheese, try Homemade ravioli with goat cheese and spinach filling. Or, if you prefer ricotta cheese, make Ravioli with spinach and ricotta cheese filling, in tomato cream sauce.

    Pesto ravioli

    Here is why you'll love this recipe as much as I did:

    • 6 ingredients. Yes, this recipe requires only 6 ingredients. You need red cherry tomatoes, yellow cherry tomatoes, small Mozzarella cheese balls, avocado, basil pesto, and ravioli. Pretty basic, isn't it?
    • 30-minute recipe. It takes only 30 minutes to make pesto ravioli from start to finish. All you need is get the vegetables ready and cook the ravioli. Then, just toss everything with basil pesto. So easy!
    • Use any kind of ravioli.  I used cheese ravioli.  You can use ravioli stuffed with anything.  Cheese, pesto, spinach, etc.
    • Basil Pesto. I used store-bought basil pesto.  I have stopped making my own pesto because the one I buy at the store is so good.  However, if you do want a recipe for homemade pesto, try this basil pesto.

    What to serve with pesto ravioli

    • Chicken.  If you want to add some protein to this meatless recipe, make this easy seared chicken.
    • Seafood. If you crave seafood, add salmon with asparagus or make baked halibut.   Or, serve pesto ravioli with seared scallops and bacon or with pesto shrimp.
    • Bread.  Get a fresh loaf of Italian bread or baguette, drizzle with olive oil, and serve with pesto ravioli!
    • Salad.  Tomato Mozzarella Salad is a great choice.  Or, make a pesto salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado.
