Description
A simple and quick recipe for creamy Tuscan-style ravioli suitable for a weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces (optional)
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the ravioli according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- If using chicken, season it with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add onion to the same skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in Italian seasoning, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts.
- Return the cooked chicken (if used) to the skillet.
- Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and toss gently to coat everything.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time on a weeknight.
- If you prefer a tangier flavor, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the sauce at the end.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
