Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 14- to 16-ounce package cheese ravioli (frozen or fresh)

Add the ravioli and toss to coat. Divide among individual plates and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Substitution: For a hit of vegetables and a change of pace, use pumpkin or butternut-squash ravioli instead of cheese-filled. You can also replace the walnuts with pecans or almonds.
