Description
This Olive Garden-Inspired Ravioli Carbonara is a delightful fusion of creamy carbonara sauce and savory cheese-filled ravioli, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
1 (20-ounce) package cheese-filled ravioli (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon salt (for boiling water)
4 ounces pancetta or bacon
diced
2 cloves garlic
minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
½ cup Parmesan cheese
grated
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks
whisked
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup extra Parmesan cheese
grated
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
chopped
Cracked black pepper
to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta or bacon until crispy. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream and milk, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly whisk in the egg yolks until well combined, ensuring the sauce stays creamy without scrambling the eggs.
- Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and gently mix to coat the pasta evenly in the carbonara sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and cracked black pepper to taste.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the salt and pepper based on your preference. You can also add peas or spinach for a fresh touch.
