Ingredients
Scale
Ravioli
- 1 Pound Cheese Ravioli, cooked in salted water
Sauce
- 2 Tbs Butter
- 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
- ½ Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1 Cup Chicken Broth
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Cup Parmesan Cheese
- 3 Cups Fresh Spinach, roughly chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbs Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbs Italian Seasoning
Instructions
- Sauté Garlic and Sun Dried Tomatoes: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing them together for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream into the skillet. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-5 minutes to thicken and combine flavors.
- Add Spinach: Incorporate the fresh, roughly chopped spinach into the sauce. Stir continuously until the spinach wilts and blends evenly into the creamy mixture.
- Toss in Ravioli: Add the cooked cheese ravioli to the skillet. Gently toss them in the sauce until each ravioli is evenly coated with the rich Tuscan cream sauce.
- Serve: Serve the creamy Tuscan ravioli warm for the best flavor experience. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Use fresh spinach for the best texture and flavor; baby spinach works well too.
- Feel free to substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
- For a lighter sauce, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a dairy alternative.
- If sun-dried tomatoes are too dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before chopping.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
