  4. Incorporate the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the broth and diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Add the heavy cream and let it gently simmer.
  7. Stir in the ravioli and cook according to package instructions until they’re tender.
  8. Just before serving, fold in the fresh spinach and Italian seasoning, stirring until the spinach is wilted.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve hot, generously topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Serve with fresh herbs like basil or red pepper flakes, and crusty bread for dipping. A green salad with vinaigrette pairs well.
