1 (9-ounce) package fresh 3-cheese ravioli
1 1/3 cups fresh baby spinach

1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
Fresh basil leaves (optional)

1

3

Wine Match: This rich dish needs a crisp white to refresh the palate. Costamolino Vermentino di Sardegna 2010 ($10) is zesty and refreshing with tropical fruit and an herbal edge to match the basil. --Jeffery Lindenmuth
