Creamy, delicious sun-dried tomato and spinach ravioli. Super easy to put together and ready in a cinch. This is an amazing weeknight dinner that I love to pair with a small salad and freshly baked bread.
This pasta dish is loaded with cheesy and creamy deliciousness. I fold in some spinach, added sun-dried tomatoes, and tons of cheese!
Ingredients
1 8.8 ounces package of Store Bought Ravioli (I used Trader Joe’s Roasted Cauliflower & Cheese Ravioli)
Sauce:
2 cloves of Garlic (minced)
2 tbsp of Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp of Sun-dried Tomatoes in oil (roughly chopped)
1 c. of Half and Half Milk
1 tsp of Dijon Mustard (optional)
1 tsp of Dried Italian Herbs
1 c. of fresh Baby Spinach(roughly chopped)
1/4 c. of Pasta Water
Salt and Pepper to taste
2–3 tsp of Grated Parmesan Cheese (adjust depending on how cheesy you prefer it)
Optional Toppings:
Torn fresh Basil and Parmesan Cheese
How to make Creamy Sun-dried Tomato and Spinach Ravioli
Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the Ravioli in a medium pot. Before draining the pasta, reserve 1/4 c. of the pasta water.
Step 2: Melt the butter in a large skillet over low to medium heat. Add the garlic to the skillet once the butter has melted, along with sun-dried tomatoes, and dried Italian herbs. Saute for about 1 to 2 minutes before pouring in 1/4 c. of the reserved pasta water and adding in the half and half, and Dijon mustard. Stir well and lightly simmer for a couple of minutes more.
Step 3: Next, stir in the Parmesan until melted. Adjust the salt and pepper according to taste. Fold in the spinach and Ravioli. Allow everything to simmer for a couple of minutes more until the sauce has slightly thickened, the spinach has wilted, and the ravioli is saucy.
Step 4: Serve immediately. Enjoy!
