This creamy Tuscan ravioli is a delicious comfort food recipe that’s ready to eat in just 30 minutes.

The ingredients are simple and require very little effort to put together on my part. That's my favorite kind of recipe.

For me, that meets all of my requirements for a perfect busy weeknight meal.

We are big pasta eaters here at my house. My kids especially just love it and I try to serve it to them at least a couple times a week.

That said, I’m always looking for new and interesting recipes to serve to them. This one couldn’t have been more perfect.

The creamy sauce, sun dried tomatoes and spinach go together perfectly with the cheese filled tortellini.

All you need is a little side salad and maybe some Homemade Garlic Bread and you’ve got a dinner that everyone is sure to love.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

I like this ravioli recipe made just the way it is but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Pasta- Any kind of pasta or ravioli would be ok to use. Choose a different flavor filling of ravioli to add some variety, too.
• Protein- Add in some cooked and cubed chicken or shrimp for an extra filling meal.
• Spicy- Add some crushed red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic and onion to add some kick to this dish.
