Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (9 oz) of fresh or frozen ravioli (cheese or spinach-filled)
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Step 3: Pour in the marinara sauce and bring it to a simmer. Then reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well until combined.
- Step 4: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce while stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Season with dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Step 5: Gently fold the cooked ravioli into the sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
- Step 6: Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired. Enjoy your Marinara Alfredo Ravioli!
Notes
- For optimal storage, keep any leftover Marinara Alfredo Ravioli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat gently to preserve the creamy texture.
- When reheating, use a non-stick skillet over low heat with a splash of water or additional cream to prevent sticking and maintain creaminess; stir occasionally to heat evenly.
- For a delightful serving suggestion, pair your ravioli with a side salad and some crusty garlic bread to balance the rich flavors of the dish.
- As a chef's tip, always add the Parmesan cheese gradually while stirring to ensure it melts smoothly into the sauce, preventing clumping and creating a velvety finish.
