Ingredients

Scale

Ravioli

  • Store-bought cheese or spinach ravioli (12 oz)

Sauce & Vegetables

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  2. Sauté the Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Add Spinach: Toss the fresh spinach into the skillet and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  4. Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine with the vegetables. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly and the cheese melts completely.
  5. Combine Ravioli and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked ravioli into the creamy sauce. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick to help loosen and coat the ravioli evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve Hot: Transfer the ravioli and sauce immediately to plates or bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil, extra parmesan, or cracked black pepper as desired for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated parmesan for a richer, creamier sauce.
  • Do not overcook ravioli to keep them tender yet firm (al dente).
  • Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency and improve sauce adhesion.
  • Simmer the sauce gently to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Finely chop sun-dried tomatoes to evenly distribute their flavor.
