Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Cheese or Spinach Ravioli
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Baby spinach (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften and release flavor.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
If the sauce is too thick, stir in a couple of tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Optional: Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Gently add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Plate the ravioli and garnish with fresh basil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
