So here at my apartment, we call ourselves the “baguette babes”. No joke. My three housemates and I just really like baguettes.
Here’s an actual quote from two days ago that I had to write down because I knew it would be a perfect example for this post. Courtesy of my housemate Lakshmi:
“Is that a baguette!? I’m going to shit myself.”
As you can see, we also are very eloquent college students.
It’s come to the point where no baguette is safe from our reach. If you go to the store and buy one, you better hide it at your boyfriends apartment or else is will be gone in literally an hour. Also, shhhhh. Don’t tell them I do this.
It doesn’t matter if you didn’t get a single delicious and carb-loaded bite dipped in balsamic vinegar and olive oil (just drooled on my laptop), that baguette is open territory. Kinda like the hunger games, only with less violent killing, ya know? Who knows how far we’d go when it comes to baguettes, though, so I’d play it safe and not come between us and our French bread.
So anyways, I bring up baguettes because nothing goes better with them than fresh pasta. Even better? Delicious pasta that’s done in 10 minutes flat. You think I’m joking? BEHOLD:
See! I told you! Look at all that gorgeous, sparkly parmesan.
The concept behind this dish is that sometimes, simple is better, and nothing beats the classic combination of olive oil, garlic, and cheese.
To make it even more fabulous, I used non-dried ravioli noodles stuffed with two types of fillings: tomato mozzarella and basil pesto. Not only does it taste incredible, but the fresh noodles cook in only two minutes. Hallelujah!
Also, aren’t they just the cutest? Bobbin’ around all poofed-up in that water like nobody’s business. D’aw.
I think the pictures can describe how tasty this 10 Minute Garlic Parmesan Ravioli is better than any blog post. Like they say, a picture paints a thousands words, yo.
So what are you waiting for?
Yum.

Haha, you and your house mates are hilarious! This recipe looks delicious and reminds me that I haven’t had ravioli or a baguette in ages. Thanks for making me super hungry right now. 😉

Baguette babes….love it. They just brought out a range of sourdough artisan baguettes here in the supermarkets and my mum and sister go through two a week! I love how you made a simple sauce for the ravioli- I often find it gets bastardised by heavy sauces which detracts from the interior of them- the best bit!
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes says
This does look yummy. So comforting yet so fresh ans spring like too.
Erin @ The Almond Eater says
Is that a baguette? I’m going to shit myself….hahhha I love it. I also looooove ravioli–these look so delicious!
Natalie @ lovenataliemarie says
10 minutes delicious parmesan ravioli? I’m in! 😀
This will be perfect to make with the warmer weather and me trying to spice up my meals. I just can’t get over how much of a food genius you are. 😀
Meghan @ fitnesscrEATures says
Great, while you drool all over your keyboard I’ll do the same. Then we can both file claims for new keyboards because of YOUR delicious food and your mouth watering descriptions/pictures of said food. Haha I love that direct quote – I’d fit right in with you girls.
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog says
Yum, looks delicious as per usual!
I too share your love for baguettes and pretty much every carb on the planet. Mmmm, this recipe is super carb-y. Love it!
Kym says
YUM! This looks so delish! And I’m always looking for new recipes to try for my husband’s pregames. I’m bookmarking this now to try this weekend – thanks so much for sharing!
Casey says
Just added this to my grocery list for something to make this week! It looks delicious. I’m not sure what it is about bread in general but I could eat it all day… the extra carbs from it are soo worth it!
Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat says
OMG…drooling over here! This dish looks fantastic! I haven’t had ravioli in the longest time, but I’m think I need to change that asap!
Amanda Elizabeth says
ummmm that recipe looks seriously amazing! I could eat bread with every meal for sure!
Liz @ Carpe Diem and Run says
This looks amazing Christine! Great photos
Kelly @ Kelly Runs for Food says
Mmmm, baguettes and pasta in one post- right up my alley! I read somewhere that you should choose bread OR pasta in a meal and that made me sad, cause I feel like they should go together.
I’m in love with the simplicity of this dish. I might need to head on down to TJs and pick up some fresh pasta!
Autumn Wieland says
Man you take good pictures!!
Jessie says
Oh gosh, Joshua has been begging me for weeks to make ravioli and I STILL haven’t. Talk about a bad wife =X lol. I bet he’d go crazeballs for this recipe.
Sarah @ Sweet Miles says
YUM! I actually made pasta for dinner last night too!! This definitely trumps my baked ziti from last night…I’m with you, nothing beats the basic olive oil and pasta combo!
Melissa @ Nourish By Melissa says
I’m a die hard pasta lover! I think I was Italian in another life haha! This recipe looks incredible
Amy @ Long Drive Journey says
This looks so good! I absolutely LOVE ravioli! (More than I love baguettes, sorry friend). And while I’m apologizing, I’m sorry for being so MIA!! Promise I’m back now!
Jen@HealthyFoodandFamily says
Holy shit. Yes, please! This meal looks so dang delicious right now.
Rachel Cotterill says
Sounds good to me! 😀
Rebecca says
Beautiful photos and recipe, I thought I had tried all of the Rana flavors, but I guess somehow I missed this one. I guess I’ll go out and hunt it down so I can make this fabulous recipe!

Caroline says
Did you use 2 packs of ravioli or one? In the post, it says two flavors but in the recipe it says one. I wouldn’t think 1 package could feed 4 people?
Thanks!
Christine Skari says
The ravioli package I got came with two different flavors in one bag! If you’re feeding 4 hungry people, I Would recommend getting 2 packages :).
Meg @ Noming thru Life says
Simple and delicious! Plus it involves garlic – how could anyone not be sold on this dish? What a great easy weeknight meal! YUM
