Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) refrigerated ravioli
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces (113 grams) oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 1/3 cup chopped onion (white or yellow)
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Liquids and Cheese:
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken stock)
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (more if needed)
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, room temperature
Garnish:
- Fresh basil
Instructions
- Prepare a large pot of salted water and bring to a rolling boil at high heat for the ravioli.
- Cook ravioli according to package timing, typically 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface, then carefully drain and set aside.
- Heat a spacious skillet over medium temperature, adding a drizzle of olive oil from the sun-dried tomato jar.
- Sauté finely chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes into the skillet, stirring to blend flavors and release aromatic oils.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine, allowing liquid to reduce by half and concentrate the underlying flavors.
- Gently pour heavy cream into the skillet, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer while continuously stirring.
- Gradually sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese, whisking until completely melted and sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Adjust sauce consistency by slowly adding chicken stock if needed, creating a silky texture.
- Season the sauce with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance overall taste profile.
- Tenderly fold cooked ravioli into the creamy sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Warm the ravioli through for 1-2 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Plate immediately and serve hot, offering a luxurious dining experience.
Notes
- Choose high-quality store-bought ravioli with delicate cheese filling for best flavor absorption.
- Control sauce thickness by gradually adding chicken stock, preventing it from becoming too runny or too dense.
- Swap heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version of the sauce.
- Select dry white wines like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc that complement the creamy sauce without overpowering the delicate ravioli.
