Description
Cheese Ravioli with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Sauce is a comforting Italian dish featuring tender ravioli in a creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb cheese ravioli, frozen or fresh
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ cup sun-dried tomato pesto
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup packed fresh basil leaves, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ¾ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- ¾ teaspoon ground pepper, or more to taste
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup pasta cooked water, reserved if needed
Instructions
- Prepare the ravioli according to package instructions, either boiling until tender, then drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add unsalted butter and minced garlic, sautéing for about one minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomato pesto, then pour in the low-sodium chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
- Pour in the heavy cream. When the sauce begins to boil, add fresh sliced basil leaves, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and ground pepper. Allow it to simmer gently for 2 minutes to thicken and meld the flavors.
- Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat them well in the creamy sauce. If the pasta looks dry, add up to ½ cup of reserved pasta cooking water and toss again to achieve desired sauce consistency.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream or broth.
