Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces store-bought cheese ravioli
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the ravioli cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and crumble into small pieces once cooled.
Remove excess bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
Add the butter to the skillet and melt it over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Toss the cooked ravioli into the sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated. Gently fold in the crumbled bacon.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
