Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 package cheese ravioli fresh or frozen
  • Olive oil
  • Butter
  • Garlic minced
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped
  • Italian seasoning
  • Heavy cream
  • Chicken broth
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Spinach optional
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the ravioli: Boil the ravioli in salted water until tender. Drain, drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
  • Sauté the base: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Build the flavor: Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Stir well to release the oils and aroma.
  • Make it creamy: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  • Finish the sauce: Whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth and silky. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach if using and let it wilt.
  • Bring it together: Toss the cooked ravioli gently in the sauce until coated and heated through.
  • Serve and savor: Top with extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of basil. Serve immediately.
