Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained

Pasta

  • 20 ounces refrigerated ravioli

Instructions

  1. Whisk the sauce base: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese. Whisk continuously over medium-high heat until the mixture begins to thicken, creating a smooth and creamy base for the sauce.
  2. Add veggies and simmer: Stir in 1 cup of chopped spinach and 1/2 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes into the thickened cream sauce. Let the sauce simmer gently until the spinach wilts, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  3. Cook the ravioli: Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook 20 ounces of refrigerated ravioli following the package instructions until al dente. Drain the ravioli thoroughly.
  4. Combine and serve: Plate the cooked ravioli and generously spoon the creamy Tuscan garlic sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor and smooth sauce texture.
  • Spinach can be substituted with kale or Swiss chard if preferred.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil add extra richness; drain well to avoid excess oiliness.
  • Adjust garlic powder and Italian seasoning according to taste preference.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
