Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (or to taste)
  • 5 leaves fresh basil (chopped)
  • Sea salt and black pepper (to taste)

Pasta

  • 1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated ravioli (prepared according to package directions)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat to form the base of your sauce.
  2. Sauté Garlic: Add the finely minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, releasing its aroma without browning.
  3. Add Tomato Paste and Red Pepper Flakes: Stir in the tomato paste and red pepper flakes to introduce depth and a subtle heat to the sauce.
  4. Simmer with Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and let the mixture simmer for 2 minutes to blend the flavors and slightly reduce the liquid.
  5. Add Cream and Parmesan: Stir in the heavy cream and parmigiano reggiano, mixing until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Incorporate Basil and Season: Mix in the chopped fresh basil, then season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Toss with Ravioli: Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and toss gently until each piece is evenly coated with the sauce.
  8. Serve: Serve the creamy ravioli immediately while warm and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors.

Notes

  • Use good quality parmigiano reggiano for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of heavy cream to achieve desired sauce consistency.
  • Fresh basil can be substituted with dried, but add less as it is more concentrated.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Be cautious with red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
