Ingredients You’ll Need:

Here’s a breakdown of the key ingredients in our Cheese Ravioli Skillet:

• Fresh Ravioli: The star of the show, ravioli provides a soft and chewy texture, perfectly paired with the creamy sauce.
• Olive Oil or Avocado Oil: A drizzle of these healthy oils enhances the flavors and prevents sticking.
• Garlic: Adds a delightful aroma and a burst of savory flavor.
• Sun-Dried Tomatoes: These bring a sweet and tangy twist to the dish, complementing the creaminess of the sauce.
• Gluten-Free Oat Flour: We use this to thicken the sauce. If you’re not gluten-free, feel free to opt for all-purpose flour.
• Vegetable Broth: Creates a savory and umami base for the sauce. You can also use chicken broth if you’re not plant-based.
• Almond Milk (or your preferred milk): Adds creaminess without dairy. Feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk.
• Vegan Parmesan Cheese (or regular Parmesan): This ingredient brings a cheesy, savory kick. Choose vegan options for a plant-based meal.
• Sea Salt and Black Pepper: Season to taste, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
• Fresh Basil: Torn basil leaves provide a hint of freshness and a pop of color to your dish.

Instructions: How to make Cheese Ravioli Skillet

1. Prepare the Ravioli

Cook the fresh ravioli according to the package instructions until they are tender. Drain them and set aside.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

In a large skillet, return it to medium heat and drizzle olive oil or avocado oil.

Add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it becomes fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Incorporate the sun-dried tomatoes and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

3. Thicken the Sauce

Whisk in gluten-free oat flour (or a suitable alternative if not gluten-free), stirring to combine. Cook the flour for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw taste.

4. Create the Creamy Base

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the almond milk or your preferred milk of choice. Bring the mixture to a low boil, ensuring constant stirring.

Adjust the sauce’s thickness by adding more milk if necessary.

5. Season and Combine

Season the sauce with sea salt and black pepper to taste, enhancing the overall flavor profile.

Pour the luscious sauce over the cooked ravioli, tossing them together to ensure even coating.

6. Add Fresh Herbs and Garnish

For a final touch, incorporate torn basil leaves to infuse a hint of freshness and color.

Optionally, garnish your dish with freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

7. Enjoy Your Cheese Ravioli Skillet

Serve your Cheese Ravioli Skillet as a delightful and savory meal for a memorable dining experience.
