Ingredients

• 16 ounces store-bought cheese ravioli
• 6 slices bacon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 2

While the ravioli cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and crumble into small pieces once cooled.

Step 3

Remove excess bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.

Step 4

Add the butter to the skillet and melt it over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Toss the cooked ravioli into the sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated. Gently fold in the crumbled bacon.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
