  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 20 oz. ready-to-heat ravioli or tortellini

Directions

  4. Add heavy cream and mix to combine. Allow to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

  8. Once warm, add portion of cooked ravioli. Cook pasta and sauce together over medium heat until pasta is warm and sauce has thickened slightly. The sauce should cling well to the pasta.
  9. Serve immediately, garnish with additional parmesan and fried sage leaves.
