Ingredients

• 500 grams Cheese ravioli
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese ravioli according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside, tossing lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and butter mixture. Stir continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to combine and avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts and integrates into the sauce.

Step 7

Gently fold the cooked ravioli into the skillet, ensuring it is well coated with the creamy spinach sauce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the dish rest for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve the Creamy Ravioli Florentine warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
