Garlic Bread Ravioli Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Ravioli:
  • 1 package (9-12 oz) fresh or frozen ravioli (cheese, spinach, or your favorite filling)
• For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
• For the Garlic Bread Topping:
  • 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions:

1. Cook the Ravioli:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the ravioli.
2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned. If using, add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Combine Ravioli and Sauce:
   • Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the garlic butter sauce. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
4. Make the Garlic Bread Topping:
   • In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, olive oil, dried herbs, garlic, and fresh parsley. Mix well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with oil.
5. Serve:
   • Plate the garlic butter ravioli and sprinkle the garlic bread topping over the top.
   • Garnish with additional chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
