Prepare the Sauce
  1. Start by dicing garlic and measuring out your canned tomatoes. Gather other ingredients within arm’s reach to streamline the process.
  2. Heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant—about 1-2 minutes—without letting it brown.
  3. Pour in diced tomatoes along with their juices. Sprinkle in oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine everything into tomato magic.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Just before serving, stir in freshly chopped basil.
Cook the Ravioli
  1. In another pot of salted boiling water, cook ravioli according to package instructions until al dente—usually 4-5 minutes. Drain gently.
Serve
  1. Serve your pasta coated with the Easy Ravioli Sauce, garnished with more basil if desired.
