Creamy Cheesy Beef Ravioli

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef ravioli (Cook according to package directions; fresh or refrigerated ravioli may require less cooking time.)
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic (Minced.)
• 2 cups heavy cream

Steps

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the beef ravioli according to the package directions until tender but still intact. Reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain the ravioli carefully.

2. 2

   While the ravioli cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 6–8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned throughout and no longer pink. Drain excess grease if needed.

3. 3

   Add the butter to the skillet with the browned beef. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30–60 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.

4. 4

   Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Do not let it boil vigorously.

5. 5

   Add the drained ravioli to the creamy beef sauce. Gently fold until the ravioli are evenly coated, taking care not to break them. If the sauce is too thick, stir in reserved ravioli cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust seasoning if desired, then serve immediately while hot. The supplied ingredient list does not include additional cheese; add grated Parmesan or another melting cheese only if intended by the original video but omitted from the description.

Notes

The source provides no salt, pepper, or separate cheese quantity. Seasoning and cheese should be added only according to personal preference or if shown elsewhere in the original video. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days and reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk.
