Description

A delicious creamy cheese ravioli dish with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cheese ravioli
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook ravioli according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute.
  3. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute to release flavor.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in parmesan and Italian seasoning. Let simmer 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in spinach until wilted. Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  6. Gently fold in the cooked ravioli. Stir to coat evenly with the sauce.
  7. Sprinkle with black pepper, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Garnish with fresh basil for added flavor.
