Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cheese ravioli (fresh or store-bought)
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves (optional)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to create a roux. This will help thicken the sauce.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking and stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Optional: Add the spinach leaves to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are wilted.
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy ravioli!
