Description

Creamy Tuscan Garlic Ravioli is a rich and flavorful Italian-inspired dish featuring tender ravioli tossed in a luscious garlic cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for a comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained

Pasta

  • 20 ounces refrigerated ravioli

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese. Whisk over medium-high heat continuously until the mixture begins to thicken, creating a creamy and flavorful base.
  2. Add vegetables: Stir in 1 cup chopped spinach and 1/2 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes. Let the sauce simmer gently until the spinach wilts and the ingredients meld, enhancing the depth of flavor.
  3. Cook the ravioli: While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 20 ounces of refrigerated ravioli and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3 to 5 minutes until they float to the surface and are tender.
  4. Combine and serve: Drain the ravioli carefully and plate them. Pour the creamy Tuscan garlic sauce over the ravioli and serve immediately for a delicious, hearty meal.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor and smoother sauce texture.
  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • For added protein, consider incorporating cooked chicken or Italian sausage.
  • Adjust garlic powder and Italian seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • If preferred, use fresh garlic minced instead of garlic powder for a more intense garlic flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
