Ingredients

1 lb ravioli cooked
2 TBS salted butter
2 cloves garlic minced
½ cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup ham diced
1 cup frozen peas thawed
¼ cup parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

Cook your ravioli according to package instructions. While pasta is cooking, make your cream sauce.
1 lb ravioli
Heat a large pan over medium heat.
Melt butter in pan.
2 TBS salted butter
Once melted, add garlic to pan and stir for 1 minute.
2 cloves garlic
Add chicken broth and deglaze the bottom of the pan for 1 minute.
1/2 cup chicken broth
Add the heavy cream and stir.
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Add the ham and peas and stir.
1 cup ham, 1 cup frozen peas
Bring the sauce to a rolling simmer and simmer for 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
Strain the pasta and add to the sauce, stir to combine.
Serve hot garnished with parmesan cheese.
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Notes

Make sure to let the cream sauce simmer enough to thicken enough to coat the pasta.

Eat this ravioli fresh. I don’t recommend trying to save this and warm up – the cream just doesn’t stay together that well. It’s so easy to make that I recommend just making a fresh batch.

Try this with different meats and veggies! As long as you have the base garlic butter sauce for ravioli, you can try all sorts of different mix-ins!
