  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook Ravioli (10 minutes): Cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. Prepare Cream Sauce (5 minutes): Pour the heavy cream into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for a few minutes to slightly thicken. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine Ravioli with Sauce (2 minutes): Add the cooked ravioli to the cream sauce. Gently toss to coat the ravioli evenly with the sauce.
  5. Serve (3 minutes): Plate the Tuscan ravioli and ensure each serving has a generous amount of sauce.

Notes

For the best Tuscan ravioli experience, use fresh ravioli with a filling of your choice. The spinach should be fresh for a vibrant color and taste.

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your heat preference. The cream sauce should be just thick enough to cling to the ravioli without overpowering it.
