Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh or store-bought cheese ravioli
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Feel free to substitute the cheese ravioli with mushroom or spinach ravioli if you prefer. For a vegan twist, you can replace the heavy cream with coconut cream and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and stir for another 2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
- Toss in the fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the tomatoes and spinach. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
There’s a certain magic in watching the sauce thicken and cling to each ravioli, much like the way our family stories and traditions have always embraced us.
