Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 15 ounces Garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
- 4 cups Baby spinach
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garbanzo beans to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, gently tossing to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, stir in some of the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes over the dish. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
