Ravioli Primavera

This is from an old magazine clipping. The paper has even turned yellow. Doesn't change the fact that it's another wonderful pasta recipe.

Ravioli Primavera

1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 lb. fresh cheese ravioli
1 cup chicken broth
1 (8-oz) zucchini, diced
1 cup frozen tiny peas
1 (5-oz) bag prewashed baby spinach leaves

Blend butter, basil, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cook ravioli according to package directions.

In a saucepan, bring broth to a boil; add zucchini and peas. Cover. Reduce heat. Simmer 3 minutes, until zucchini is just tender. Remove from heat. Stir in spinach. Cover pot to wilt spinach.

Drain ravioli. Return to pot. Add basil butter mixture. Toss. Transfer to bowls. Spoon vegetables and broth over ravioli. Sprinkle with extra grated Parmesan, if desired.
