This Creamy Parmesan Ravioli Pasta recipe is a quick and



easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The rich and creamy


sauce is made with butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and herbs. It is the perfect sauce to coat your favorite ravioli, whether it is store-bought or homemade.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2-3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red chili flakes to taste (optional)
  • Cooked ground beef as needed (optional)
  • 1 package (16 ounces) four-cheese ravioli
  • Fresh or dried parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1.     Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

2.     Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more.

3.     Add the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

4.     If using cooked ground beef, add it to the sauce and stir to combine.

5.     Add the ravioli to the sauce and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

6.     Serve immediately, garnished with fresh or dried parsley.

Tips:

  • For a smoother sauce, you can puree it in a blender or food processor before adding the ravioli.
  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of chicken broth or water.
  • If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use regular chopped tomatoes instead.
  • You can also add other vegetables to the sauce, such as mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use whole milk instead of heavy cream.
  • If you want a spicy sauce, you can add more red chili flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Enjoy!
