This super easy and quick White Wine Leek Ravioli dish is perfect for weeknight dinner when you have a million things going on. No one will know how simple is to whip up!

The ravioli is a great date night dish or dinner idea to have on hand when you want something that’s fancy but really easy!

I’m always looking for quick meals that taste like they took a lot longer to create and this one fits the bill.  It’s also a meal that ingredients can be swapped out for ones you have one hand.

Ingredient alternatives:

You can also change the ravioli for a cheaper variety of pasta, it’s really the sauce is what elevates this dish. Also, changing the leek for red onion is also really good.  AND if need a protein, it’s delicious with lemon grilled chicken.
