Ingredients
- 1 package (about 18 ounces) refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
If you prefer, you can substitute the cheese ravioli with spinach or mushroom ravioli for a different twist. Also, feel free to use vegetable broth to make this dish vegetarian-friendly.
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to burn it.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash more chicken broth.
- Gently toss the cooked ravioli in the sauce until well coated. Let everything heat through for another 2 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
One tip I learned from my grandmother is to always taste the sauce before serving. Adjusting the seasoning to your preference makes all the difference.
