Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package (12 oz) ravioli
- 1 cup Prosecco
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package (12 oz) of ravioli, 1 cup of Prosecco, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and fresh parsley for garnish.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 4-5 minutes, until they float to the surface and are tender.
- While the ravioli is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm for about a minute.
- Carefully pour in 1 cup of Prosecco, letting it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly and enhance its flavor.
- Once the Prosecco has reduced, lower the heat and add 1 cup of heavy cream to the skillet. Stir gently to combine the cream with the Prosecco, allowing the mixture to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the ravioli is cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them directly from the pot to the skillet with the Prosecco cream sauce. Gently toss the ravioli in the sauce to coat them evenly.
- Allow the ravioli to simmer in the sauce for an additional minute to absorb the flavors, stirring gently to avoid breaking the pasta.
- Remove the skillet from heat and plate the ravioli. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Serve immediately, enjoying the rich flavors of the Prosecco cream sauce enveloping the tender ravioli. Pair with a glass of Prosecco for a delightful dining experience.
Tips
- Choose the Right Ravioli: For a truly authentic experience, opt for fresh or homemade ravioli. You can fill them with your favorite ingredients, such as ricotta and spinach, or go for store-bought for convenience.
- Perfectly Cooked Ravioli: Make sure to salt your boiling water generously. This not only flavors the pasta but also helps it cook evenly. Keep an eye on the cooking time; ravioli is done when it floats to the surface.
- Simmer, Don’t Boil: When adding the Prosecco to the skillet, let it simmer gently. Boiling can cause the alcohol to evaporate too quickly, which will affect the flavor of your sauce.
- Cheese Matters: Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-grated cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect how it melts.
- Garnish with Flair: Don’t skip the fresh parsley garnish! It adds a burst of color and freshness that beautifully complements the rich sauce.
- Pairing Perfection: Serve your ravioli with a glass of chilled Prosecco to enhance the flavors of the dish and create a truly memorable dining experience.
- Make it Your Own: Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or even shrimp to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor and texture.With these tips, you’ll master the art of making Ravioli with Prosecco Cream Sauce and wow your guests every time!
