Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 pieces Cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Anchovy paste
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Croutons
- 0.25 cup Extra Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese ravioli according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Mix in the anchovy paste and stir until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and smooth.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to balance the flavors.
Gently toss the cooked ravioli into the skillet, ensuring they are well coated in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and fold in the chopped romaine lettuce. The residual heat will slightly wilt the lettuce while keeping it crisp.
Portion the ravioli onto plates and top each serving with croutons and extra Parmesan cheese for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Caesar Ravioli!
