Instructions

Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli, and cook according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
Sauté the Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens.
Add Spinach: Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss Ravioli: Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Garnish and Serve: Transfer the creamy Tuscan ravioli to plates or a serving bowl. Garnish with extra Parmesan and chopped basil or parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Use refrigerated or homemade ravioli for best texture, but frozen can also work.
Replace spinach with baby kale or arugula for a twist.
Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or sliced Italian sausage for protein.
Adjust creaminess: Add more cream for a looser sauce or more Parmesan for a thicker one.
