This Ravioli al Pomodoro recipe is an easy Italian one skillet meal made with San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, and absolutely packed with flavor!I am sharing a meal today that is so easy, yet tastes like it came straight out of a restaurant in Italy. I feel that I can safely say this since I’ve vacationed in Italy a couple of times and Italian food is my absolute favorite cuisine! You may think I have to say that since I am Italian, but I truly mean it. There has never been a day in my life where pasta didn’t sound good to me. This Ravioli al Pomodoro is definitely a new favorite! Anything topped with fresh, melted mozzarella and I’m all in.

I have had some crazy food aversions during this pregnancy and they seem to get stronger as the weeks go by, but Italian food is one thing that has never failed me. Even if I have to eat plain pasta with butter and garlic, I know it will be there to save me from my “nothing in the world sounds good to me right now” moments that I have all too often!

I used my favorite brand of tomatoes in this Ravioli al Pomodoro – Tuttorosso tomatoes. Their products never let me down so I was really excited to try their brand new product – San Marzano Style tomatoes. I don’t do a lot of cooking with San Marzano tomatoes, not nearly as much as I should.

I have found they are the best-tasting tomatoes when making a red sauce in order to achieve maximum flavor. The flavor and texture of these tomatoes did not disappoint and I’m so happy to have a new kind of Tuttorosso tomatoes to cook with from now on.

In case you aren’t familiar with them, San Marzano tomatoes are a variety of plum tomatoes. If you compare it to the familiar Roma tomato that you probably cook with often, San Marzano tomatoes are thinner and more pointed.

The flesh of these tomatoes is much thicker with fewer seeds, and the taste is stronger, sweeter and less acidic. They really have so much flavor that there is not much that even needs to be done to them. There is your tomato lesson for the day!

Tuttorosso is family-owned and prides itself on the quality of their tomatoes which I have come to really appreciate over the years. My dad always used their products and nobody took more pride in their cooking than he did. I carried on the tradition in using Tuttorosso! After all, they’re the best-selling Italian inspired canned tomato brand in the U.S. for a reason.

With Tuttorosso’s non BPA lined cans, you don’t get that metallic tin flavor that can be a huge turn off. The new San Marzano Style tomatoes are no different. They are preserved using their Steam Sealed Flavor-Loc system. It’s the closest you can get to picking a tomato straight from the garden. I use their tomatoes in my Cheesy Tortellini Skillet recipe!

This Ravioli al Pomodoro is very filling and hearty without the sauce being overly heavy.  Traditionally, Pomodoro is a light tomato pasta dish packed with fresh basil, garlic and Parmesan cheese. It’s so easy to make and so delicious! Make this soon and see how happy even your pickiest eaters will be.

Tip: Tuttorosso’s delicious products can be found on Amazon or use their handy store locator to see where you can get their products at a store near you!
