Beef Ravioli in Cream Basil Sauce

The ravioli may be frozen, but the sauce is delish!  This meal is easy to make, and certainly beats regular jarred tomato sauce.

1 24 oz package frozen beef ravioli

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 lb sliced mushrooms

3  chopped green onions (I used less, we are not an oniony kind of family)

2 minced garlic cloves

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1 10 oz can diced mild tomatoes and green chilies, drained.  (I did not use the can with chilies)

2 tablespoons fresh basil

1 cup whipping cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt. (I did without)

• Prepare ravioli in a large Dutch oven according to package directions;  drain and keep warm
• Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium-high heat.  Add mushrooms and next 3 ingredients;  saute over medium high heat for 6 minutes or until mushrooms are tender.  Stir in diced tomatoes and green chilies, basil and cream; bring to a boil.  reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally  5 minutes.  Stir in Parmesan cheese; add salt.  Stir in ravioli and toss. 

 Buon Appetito
