Creamy Veggie Raviolis
One of our go-to dinners is a ravioli dish with creamy alfredo, loaded with veggies. While I like to switch it up a bit now and then, mushrooms, tomatoes, and a few green chiles are definitely the big winner around here. There are several pasta and vegetable combinations I’ve made, so try a few and let me know what you come up with too!
Here’s What You’ll Need:
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic gloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 bag of frozen ravioli
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1/8 cup green chile, diced
Preparation:
- In a large pan on medium heat, melt your butter and add in mushrooms. Saute to desired texture
- Lower heat to medium-low and add in milk, whipping cream, and most of your parm, saving a bit to top off your dish. Sauce will begin to thicken up.
- Add seasonings
- Add in chile and tomatoes and continue to stir occasionally for 3-4 minute
- Boil raviolis until done
- Serve raviolis and sauce with Parmesan and tomatoes sprinkled on top
Veggie Variations to Try
Load up on your favorite vegetables with this dish. I love to saute a number of vegetables and toss them in:
- black olives
- artichoke hearts
- onions
- spinach
- squash
Tips for Sauce
If you prefer your alfredo sauce on the lighter side, use 2% milk rather than whole. Bump up your milk portion while scaling down a bit on your whipping cream and Parmesan. You’ll still get a tasty alfredo mixture without the heavy cream texture.
We’d love to hear what you come up with and how it turns out!
