Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) refrigerated ravioli
- ½ cup chicken stock (more if needed)
Dairy and Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, room temperature
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- ⅓ cup chopped onion (white or yellow)
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 4 ounces (113 grams) oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- ½ cup dry white wine (or chicken stock)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Submerge the ravioli in rapidly boiling water, adhering to package guidelines for precise cooking time. Carefully drain using a colander, preserving the pasta in a warm location.
- Transform a spacious skillet into a flavor foundation by sautéing finely diced onions, minced garlic, and roughly chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Include a drizzle of tomato preservation oil to enhance aromatic complexity. Allow ingredients to soften and become translucent over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes.
- Deglaze the skillet with a splash of crisp white wine, permitting the liquid to reduce and concentrate its essence. This process will elevate the underlying flavor profile.
- Introduce velvety heavy cream, gently bringing the mixture to a delicate simmer. Gradually incorporate shredded Parmesan, stirring consistently until the cheese melts completely and integrates seamlessly with the sauce.
- Assess sauce consistency, incorporating chicken stock incrementally if necessary to achieve desired thickness. Season judiciously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, tasting and adjusting flavor balance.
- Tenderly fold the prepared ravioli into the luxurious sauce, ensuring each pasta pocket receives an elegant coating. Warm thoroughly, allowing flavors to meld harmoniously.
- Finalize the dish by scattering vibrant fresh basil leaves across the surface. Serve immediately, presenting a visually appetizing and aromatic culinary creation.
Notes
- Opt for fresh or frozen high-quality ravioli to elevate the dish’s overall flavor and texture.
- Toast garlic and onions gently to prevent burning and release their sweet, aromatic essence without bitterness.
- Balance wine reduction by using a dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for a bright, clean underlying taste.
- Adjust sauce consistency carefully by adding chicken stock incrementally to prevent diluting
