Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 20 oz Ravioli (cheese or spinach)
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), drained and sliced
  • 5 oz Fresh spinach
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large skillet
  • Colander
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the ravioli according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water.
  2. While ravioli cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for about one minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing their flavors to release.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Gently fold the cooked and drained ravioli into the creamy Tuscan sauce until evenly coated.
  8. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce before adding the cream.
