Marry Me Ravioli

Ingredients

• 20 oz cheese ravioli (refrigerated or frozen)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped, oil-packed)
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 0.5 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 2 cup fresh baby spinach (packed)
• salt and black pepper (to taste)
• fresh basil (for garnish, chopped)

Steps

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese ravioli according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large skillet or pan over medium heat, melt the butter.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes have softened slightly.

4. 4

   Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

5. 5

   Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.

6. 6

   Add the fresh baby spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach is just wilted, about 1 minute.

7. 7

   Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

8. 8

   Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet. Gently toss the pasta in the sauce until evenly coated and heated through.

9. 9

   Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and fresh chopped basil before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of the pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.
