10 minute Meals: Ravioli with Marinated Tomatoes

I love making my own ravioli and experimenting with different fillings, but I also love the variety of ravioli you can find in the grocery store.  From butternut squash to heirloom tomato and my favorite - Organic Spinach and Cheese.

Tonight, I needed a quick and easy meal and after spotting a basket of ripe yellow and red cherry tomatoes and a package of ravioli in the fridge - I knew I could have dinner on the table in less than 10 minutes.

A Deliciously Stylish and Healthy meal you'll want to make every week!

1/4 teaspoon Fleur de Sel (can substitute sea salt)
Parmesan Cheese Shavings
Salt and Pepper to taste
Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
