Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook mushroom ravioli according to package directions, usually 3 to 4 minutes for fresh or 5 to 7 minutes for frozen. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water before draining. Drain gently.
- While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Let bubble for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
- Stir in salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked ravioli directly into the skillet with sauce. Gently toss to coat each piece. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
- Add fresh spinach and toss gently until just wilted, about 1 minute. Spinach should turn bright green and tender.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top and toss everything together one final time. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Storage: Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 days. Sauce will thicken as it sits. Reheating: Reheat gently on stovetop over low heat, adding a few tablespoons of milk or broth to loosen sauce. Stir frequently. Variations: Add sautéed mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, or cooked chicken. Use vegetable broth for vegetarian version. Swap spinach for kale or arugula. Add 1/4 cup white wine after garlic for extra depth.
