Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained if packed in oil
  • 1 pound refrigerated cheese ravioli
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach packed
  • fresh basil optional, to taste
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese optional, to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet with lid
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spatula or wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts.
  2. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes; stir to combine.
  4. Add 1 pound refrigerated cheese ravioli to the skillet and stir gently to coat with the sauce.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low; cook for 5 minutes with the lid on.
  6. Uncover and stir the ravioli; if the sauce is still too thin, cover and cook for another minute until slightly thicker.
  7. Stir in 1 cup packed fresh baby spinach and fresh basil if using; cover briefly and let the greens wilt for 1–2 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan if desired, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • You do not need to boil the refrigerated ravioli beforehand.
  • The pasta starch released while cooking helps thicken the sauce.
  • Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and drain them before adding for best flavor.
  • Adjust salt and pepper at the end to taste.
