Description

This Creamy Lemon Herb Butter Ravioli is a quick and elegant pasta dish perfect for a weeknight dinner. Fresh herbs, lemon, and Parmesan cheese create a flavorful sauce that coats tender cheese ravioli.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, de-stemmed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, de-stemmed

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 pound store-bought cheese ravioli
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more for topping
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Shallot: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is sizzling, add the chopped shallot and stir until translucent and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add Garlic and Herbs: Add the garlic, stirring constantly to prevent burning, for about 1 minute. Then sprinkle in the fresh tarragon and thyme leaves. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute, and reduce the heat to medium.
  3. Create Sauce and Add Ravioli: Pour in the broth, cream, wine, and lemon juice along with the lemon zest. Stir everything together until combined. Add the ravioli and carefully stir to combine with the sauce. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Thicken Sauce: Uncover and stir. At this stage, the sauce will be somewhat thin. Sprinkle in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
  5. Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle more Parmigiano Reggiano on top, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute Parmigiano Reggiano with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • No need to pre-boil the ravioli as it will cook within the sauce.
