Ingredients

• 16 ounces Cheese ravioli
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 14 ounces Artichoke hearts (quartered, canned, or jarred)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the artichoke hearts and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the heavy cream and stir continuously. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and gently fold in the cooked ravioli and sautéed artichoke hearts, ensuring they are evenly coated in the Alfredo sauce.

Step 7

Serve the ravioli immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired.
