Ingredients
10 oz cheese ravioli
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook for 3–5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1–2 minutes.
4. Pour in heavy cream and stir gently. Simmer for 4–5 minutes to thicken slightly.
5. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir in Parmesan until melted.
6. Add spinach and let it wilt, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil.
7. Gently fold in the cooked ravioli to coat with sauce. Heat through for 1–2 minutes.
8. Serve hot with extra black pepper, Parmesan, and basil garnish.
Notes
Use fresh or refrigerated ravioli for best flavor and texture.
Add protein like grilled chicken or shrimp for a more filling meal.
Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of cream to keep the sauce smooth.
