Ingredients
- Refrigerated ravioli (any filling)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 small onion, chopped (white or yellow)
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained of most oil and chopped
- ½ cup dry white wine (or chicken stock as an alternative)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese (room temperature)
- Chicken stock (for thinning sauce, as needed)
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over low to medium heat, sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes in a little of the reserved tomato oil for about 5 minutes, until the onions soften.
- Deglaze the skillet with white wine, letting it cook down slightly.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
- If the sauce is too thick, add chicken stock a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently toss the cooked ravioli in the sauce until coated.
- Serve topped with fresh basil leaves.
Notes
- Variations: Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or scallops for a heartier dish. Tortellini can replace ravioli, and half-and-half can substitute for heavy cream for a lighter sauce. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or chicken stock to maintain sauce creaminess.
