Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chives or basil for garnishing, if desired
Instructions:
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and saute until tender (5-7 minutes).
Blend in the flour and simmer until it starts to thicken (3-4 minutes).
Meanwhile, put tomatoes in a blender or food processor and blend until pureed.
Add the tomato mixture to the onion mixture, and add the brown sugar, bay leaf, garlic, basil, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
While tomato mixture is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook ravioli according to package directions.
Remove the bay leaf from the sauce and add the heavy cream.
Add the cooked ravioli and gently mix until combined.
Serve immediately and garnish with Parmesan and chives/basil, if desired.
