Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter 🧈
- 4 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- ½ teaspoon onion powder 🌰
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 🍃
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 🍋
- ¼ cup chicken stock (or vegetable) 🥣
- 1 cup heavy cream 🥛
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach (packed) 🌿
- 2 (9-10 ounce) packages of ravioli 🍲
- ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil (reserve 1 tablespoon oil) 🍅
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese 🧀
- Basil, for topping 🌿
Instructions
1️⃣ BOIL
Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water liberally, then add the ravioli and cook for 1 minute less than the package directions. Drain the ravioli and set them aside. 💦🍝
2️⃣ SAUCE
While the ravioli is boiling, begin preparing the sauce. Add the butter and the reserved 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomato oil to a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. 🧄🍅
3️⃣ COMBINE INGREDIENTS
Add the onion powder, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, chicken stock, heavy cream, and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Allow the mixture to become smooth and heated through, which should take about 1-2 minutes. 🍋🥣
4️⃣ FINISH
Once the ravioli is done, add it to the prepared sauce and stir to combine. The sauce will thicken significantly after the ravioli sits in it for a minute. 🌿🍲
5️⃣ ADD SPINACH AND BASIL
Top the ravioli with fresh spinach and basil, then cover the pan and allow them to wilt. Once wilted, stir to combine everything. Finish by topping with freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving! 🧀🍃
