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
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated parmesan cheese. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
- Add Vegetables to Sauce: Add the chopped spinach and drained sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. Let it simmer gently until the spinach wilts, which should take just a few minutes.
- Cook Ravioli: While the sauce simmers, boil a separate pot of water and cook the refrigerated ravioli according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes until they float to the top.
- Combine and Serve: Drain the cooked ravioli and plate them. Pour the creamy Tuscan sauce over the ravioli and serve immediately for a rich and flavorful meal.
Notes
- Use refrigerated ravioli for the best texture and flavor.
- Feel free to substitute spinach with kale or arugula if preferred.
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Adjust garlic and Italian seasoning amounts to taste.
- Parmesan cheese can be substituted with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- This dish pairs well with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
