Ingredients
(Original recipe yields 2 servings)
- 12 oz mushroom & spinach stuffed ravioli (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped (optional, for extra greens)
- Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish
Directions
1. Cook the Ravioli:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to package instructions (or homemade recipe) until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using).
3. Add Spinach (Optional):
If desired, stir in the chopped baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
4. Combine and Serve:
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, gently tossing to coat in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
5. Garnish and Plate:
Divide the ravioli between two plates. Drizzle with a little extra sauce, sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil, and add a dusting of Parmesan cheese.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a glass of crisp white wine, such as Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, to complement the creamy sauce.
- Serve with a side of garlic bread or a light arugula salad for a complete meal.
