16 ounces (No preparation needed, just add to pasta)
Olive Oil
1 tablespoon (For sautéing)
Garlic Clove
1 (Minced)
Cracked Pepper
1/2 teaspoon (For seasoning)
Dried Italian Seasoning

Instructions
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the refrigerated four-cheese ravioli according to package directions, adding the frozen mixed vegetables during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and vegetables and set aside.
2
In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, and cracked pepper, stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes or until the garlic becomes fragrant and softens.
3
Deglaze the pot by adding the white wine, allowing it to boil for 1 minute to evaporate the alcohol. Then, reduce the heat to medium and slowly stir in the jar of Alfredo sauce, cooking until the sauce is warmed through.
4
Gently fold in the reserved pasta and vegetable mixture, ensuring the ravioli and veggies are thoroughly coated in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Heat for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
5
Transfer the creamy ravioli primavera into a serving bowl and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
