Shrimp and Four Cheese Ravioli



I used pantry staples to make this dish after a long day of classes. It's nice to be able to stock stuff for days when your tired and sick so you can make yourself something comforting without too much work. There's just nothing like a home cooked meal after a really long hard day.

Ingredients:
Bag of store bought frozen four cheese ravioli (or ravioli of your choice)
1 jar marinara sauce
handful of frozen shrimp (thaw in luke warm water before cooking)

Directions:
1. Boil a large pot of water

2. Once water is boiling drop pasta. Check package directions for cook time.

3. In a separate pan saute shrimp (seasoned with a pinch each of salt and pepper) in a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook about 1 minute per side. Add marina sauce to this pan, reduce heat to low and allow to stay on heat until ravioli is done.

4. Once pasta is done you can mix it with the sauce and shrimp and serve family style. For a fancier look you can place cooked pasta straight onto a plate. place a shrimp onto each ravioli and spoon sauce on top. Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese over the whole thing to finish.
