Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package (9 oz) cheese ravioli
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons truffle oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. This will be used to cook the cheese ravioli.
- While the water is heating, gather all your ingredients: cheese ravioli, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, truffle oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley for garnish.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully add the cheese ravioli to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes, until they float to the surface and are tender. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking together.
- While the ravioli is cooking, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Pour in the heavy cream into the saucepan with the garlic. Stir well to combine and let it simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- Once the cream has thickened, add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- After the ravioli is cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them directly into the creamy truffle sauce. Gently toss the ravioli in the sauce to coat them evenly.
- Drizzle the truffle oil over the ravioli and sauce, and give it a final gentle toss to incorporate the flavors.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let it rest for a minute. This will allow the sauce to set slightly.
- To serve, plate the ravioli and sauce in shallow bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Enjoy your delicious Ravioli with Creamy Truffle Sauce!
Tips
- Choose Quality Ravioli: Opt for fresh or high-quality frozen cheese ravioli for the best flavor and texture. Homemade ravioli can take your dish to the next level if you're feeling adventurous!
- Don’t Overcook the Ravioli: Keep an eye on the cooking time; ravioli should be tender but not mushy. They are done when they float to the surface.
- Use Fresh Garlic: For the best aroma and flavor, always use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder. Sauté it just until fragrant to avoid bitterness.
- Adjust the Creaminess: If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the cream simmer a bit longer before adding the Parmesan. For a lighter option, you can substitute half of the heavy cream with chicken or vegetable broth.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh parsley not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the dish's freshness. Feel free to experiment with other herbs like basil or chives for a unique twist.
- Finish with Extra Truffle Oil: A little drizzle of truffle oil just before serving elevates the dish and enhances the earthy flavors. Use sparingly, as it can be quite potent!
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh and hot. Prepare everything in advance, so you can serve it as soon as the ravioli are ready.Enjoy crafting your delicious Ravioli with Creamy Truffle Sauce, and savor every moment of this delightful Italian feast!
