Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (25 ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the ravioli according to package directions. Drain the ravioli and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
  3. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Do not boil.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and velvety.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts down, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Add the cooked and drained ravioli to the skillet. Gently toss everything together until the ravioli is fully coated in the tuscan cream sauce recipe.
  10. Serve this quick creamy pasta dinner immediately for a satisfying comfort food italian pasta experience.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use the oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes instead of plain olive oil in step 2.
  • If you prefer a slightly tangier sauce, add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard with the heavy cream.
  • This recipe works well as a one pan ravioli dinner if you cook the ravioli directly in the sauce using extra broth, though it will increase the cook time slightly.
