Ingredients
  

1 package (12 oz) refrigerated fresh spinach and ricotta ravioli

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh basil or parsley leaves for garnish

Additional grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh spinach and ricotta ravioli and cook according to the package instructions, approximately 3-4 minutes or until the ravioli float to the surface. Carefully drain the ravioli, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water for later use.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant but is not browned.

      Make it Creamy: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously, allowing it to warm through. Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts completely and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

        Add Spinach: Incorporate the chopped fresh spinach into the sauce, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until it wilts down. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to taste. If the sauce appears too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

          Combine Ravioli and Sauce: Carefully fold the cooked ravioli into the creamy garlic sauce, ensuring that each piece is coated evenly. Allow them to cook together for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.

            Serve: Transfer the creamy garlic spinach ravioli onto plates, garnishing with fresh basil or parsley leaves and a generous sprinkle of extra grated Parmesan cheese. For the best flavor and texture, serve immediately.

                Presentation Tips: Consider plating the ravioli on a large serving platter, or serve in individual bowls. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and add a slice of lemon on the side for a touch of color and brightness. Enjoy!
