Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes
20 ounces refrigerated ravioli
Instructions
1-Gathering and Prepping Ingredients: First, measure out all your ingredients to avoid any rush. For instance, chop the spinach and drain the sun-dried tomatoes ahead of time, which takes about 5 minutes. This step is key for Tuscan Ravioli, as fresh prep enhances the garlic burst you’re aiming for.
2-Cooking the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the 20 ounces of refrigerated ravioli, cooking for 3-5 minutes until they float to the top. If you’re making a vegan version, use your gluten-free ravioli alternative here and boil for the same time to keep things consistent with Tuscan Ravioli traditions.
3-Boil Water: Use high heat for a rapid boil to cook Tuscan Ravioli evenly.
4-Add Ravioli: Stir gently to prevent sticking, especially for low-calorie versions.
5-Making the Sauce: While the ravioli cooks, heat a pan over medium heat and combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens, then stir in 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 cup chopped spinach, and 1/2 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes.

6-Combining and Serving: Once the ravioli is done, drain it and toss it directly into the sauce, coating evenly for about 1 minute. Serve immediately at around 140Β°F to keep it warm and fresh, and for dietary adaptations, add extra veggies if you’re going low-calorie. This step ensures your Tuscan Ravioli is bursting with garlic and ready to impress. For more Italian inspiration, explore our pumpkin ricotta gnocchi recipe for a fun twist.
