Sun-Dried Tomato Ravioli

I love sun-dried tomatoes. We went on a Costco run a few weeks ago and while we were there I saw a jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Seeing as a small jar runs me about $4.99 in the grocery store the jar they had was only $8.99, on sale! Great buy, right? Yeah. I didn’t realize how large of a jar I was buying. So now we are using sun-dried tomatoes in everything. I think I will make some homemade sun-dried tomato pesto next. But, every dish or meal we are having sun-dried tomatoes because I hate wasting things.

Verdict: This dish was amazing! Want a semi-homemade dish that seems like something you could get in a restaurant that is super simple and elegant enough to serve on special occasions? This is it! The wine, the butter, the tomatoes, and spinach,

I served this with a green side salad and a glass of wine to complete the meal.

Ingredients:

1 (32 oz) bag cheese ravioli, (I used frozen but use your favorite!)
2-3 handfuls fresh baby spinach, large stems removed
6 oz. sun-dried tomatoes, – drained,dried and chopped
1 tablespoon of oil from the sun-dried tomato jar
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups Parmesan cheese, finely shredded
1/2 cup white wine, use something you would drink
1/4 cup butter
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Directions:

Begin water to boil ravioli according to package directions. When ravioli is done, drain well.
In a large saute pan, add the oil from the sun-dried tomato then melt the butter into the oil over medium heat. Add the Italian seasoning and whisk together.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant, not burnt. Add the wine to the pan and simmer for about 2 – 3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring just to under boil, then keep at a slow simmer for 6 – 8 minutes, whisking occasionally. Be careful not to boil!
Reduce the heat to low and add Parmesan whisking to combine.
Stir in the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes into the sauce. Add ravioli and gently stir and spoon the sauce over the ravioli to coat them.
Serve hot with additional Parmesan cheese for topping.
