Description
A rich Italian-American pasta dish featuring tender chicken ravioli topped with a garlic-infused white cream sauce and golden melted cheese for a quick, elegant meal ready in 35 minutes. Perfect for busy families seeking comfort and flavor without the effort of traditional lasagna.
Ingredients
20 oz refrigerated chicken ravioli
2 cups heavy cream
4 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella (from block)
1 cup parmesan sauce (freshly grated parmesan + butter)
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Cook ravioli according to package instructions in boiling water (2-3 minutes), then drain.
Meanwhile, sauté garlic in parmesan sauce and chicken broth over medium heat (5 minutes), then stir in heavy cream.
Transfer ravioli to a greased baking dish, pour the creamy garlic sauce over them, and top with shredded mozzarella.
Bake for 25 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use ravioli with a high moisture content for optimal steaming effect
Avoid overcooking the sauce to prevent curdling
Pre-shredded cheese can be used but may lead to a gummy layer
Leftover chicken works as a protein boost
