Ingredients
  

1 package (9 oz) frozen cheese ravioli

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

5 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for added spice)

Instructions
 

Cook the Ravioli: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the frozen ravioli and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Once cooked, drain the ravioli and set aside in a bowl.

    Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, incorporate the minced garlic. Sauté for approximately 1 minute, just until fragrant. Avoid browning the garlic to prevent bitterness.

      Add Spinach: To the skillet, add the chopped spinach. Cook while stirring frequently until the spinach wilts and reduces in volume, about 2-3 minutes.

        Make the Sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low, then pour the heavy cream into the skillet. Stir constantly to combine with the spinach and garlic. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes, enhancing the flavors.

          Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until it melts completely and the sauce becomes creamy. Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) to enhance the flavor profile.

            Combine Ravioli and Sauce: Gently fold the drained ravioli into the creamy spinach sauce. Stir carefully to ensure that each ravioli is well-coated with the sauce. Cook everything together for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

              Serve: Plate the creamy garlic spinach ravioli, garnishing each serving with fresh basil leaves. For an extra kick, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy your delightful dish!
