Ingredients
  

12 oz fresh cheese ravioli

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups fresh spinach

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh cheese ravioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Garlic and Tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften.

      Add Spinach and Cream: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Then, pour in the heavy cream, and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

        Incorporate Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing well until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine with Ravioli: Gently fold the cooked ravioli into the creamy sauce, making sure they are well-coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

            Serve: Plate the creamy Tuscan ravioli, and garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
