Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cheese ravioli
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 14 ounces Artichoke hearts (quartered, canned, or jarred)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the artichoke hearts and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and stir continuously. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat to low and gently fold in the cooked ravioli and sautéed artichoke hearts, ensuring they are evenly coated in the Alfredo sauce.
Serve the ravioli immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired.
