Creamy Garlic Shrimp

with Ricotta Ravioli Elevated Dinners, Impressively Easy

Tender ravioli are pretty much a win in any form, but they’re especially delish when packed with savory tomato and creamy ricotta (and when they take just 15 minutes to make!). Toss those ravioli in a delicious cream sauce loaded with garlic and Parmesan, then add tender, garlicky sautéed shrimp and lots of leafy green spinach. Shower with more Parm and a final sprinkle of chili flakes, and oh—what’s that thumping sound? Ah yes, it’s the beating of our pasta-loving hearts!

Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

    Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry. Season all over with half the garlic powder, salt and pepper.

    Add a large drizzle of oil to a hot large pan. Add shrimp; cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and almost cooked through, 2-3 minutes.

    Add spinach; cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 1-2 minutes. (TIP: If the spinach doesn’t fit all at once, add handfuls at a time until all of it wilts down.) Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Once water is boiling, gently add ravioli to pot; reduce to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente and floating to the top, 4-5 minutes.

    Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4), then drain. (Reserve pot.)

  3. 3

    Return empty pot used for ravioli to medium-low heat. Add cream sauce base, cream cheese, half the Parmesan, and remaining garlic powder; whisk to combine. Cook, whisking, until smooth, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Add splashes of reserved pasta cooking water if sauce becomes too thick.

  4. 4

    Add drained ravioli and shrimp and spinach mixture to pot with cream sauce. Cook, stirring, until ravioli are coated in a creamy sauce and shrimp are cooked through. (TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time.) Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

    Top ravioli with remaining Parmesan and as many chili flakes as you like. Serve.

    Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
