Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups heavy cream, at room temperature
7 ounces basil pesto
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dusting
One 16-ounce ball frozen pizza dough, thawed
Butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray, for baking dish
Two 13-ounce bags frozen cheese, pesto or mushroom filled ravioli (about 20 ravioli), no thawing necessary
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 ounces Parmesan cheese flakes
Torn fresh basil, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the heavy cream, pesto, flour, red chile flakes, 1/2 cup warm water and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Working on a lightly floured surface, divide the dough in half and roll each half to make a rope about 3/4-inch-thick. Cut each rope in to 4 equal parts. Twist each piece into a knot, making 8 knots.
  • Spray a large oval baking dish or large deep-dish pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Pour a third of the sauce into the bottom of the dish. Layer with half of the ravioli in a single layer. Top with another third of the sauce, then layer with the remaining ravioli and top with the remaining sauce.
  • Place the knots along the inside edge of the pan, on top of the ravioli. Spray the knots with the cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic salt.
  • Bake until the garlic knots are a rich golden brown and the pasta sauce is bubbly, 40 to 50 minutes. Top with Parmesan and torn basil if using.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh basil. This will give your oil the best flavor. If you can't find fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will also help to give your oil the best flavor. Avoid using extra virgin olive oil, as it can be too strong for this recipe.
  • Don't overheat the oil. This can cause the basil to burn and the oil to become bitter.
  • Let the oil cool completely before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Store the oil in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve its flavor.

Conclusion:

Basil and garlic oil is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for drizzling over grilled vegetables, chicken, or fish. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for bread or crackers. No matter how you use it, basil and garlic oil is sure to add a delicious flavor to your food.
