Cooking Steps

  2. In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burned.
  3. Mix in lemon zest and juice, simmer on low for 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors.
  4. Slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring. Increase heat, bring to a gentle simmer for about 2 minutes until thickened.
  5. Reduce heat to low, gradually whisk in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Gently add drained ravioli to the skillet, toss to combine. If too thick, add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve on plates, garnished with chopped parsley.
