Report
This super simple creamy pesto ravioli recipe is made all in one pan in under 20 minutes! That means fewer dishes, and the cheesy pasta and bright pesto sauce taste luxurious.

Instructions
- Add the chicken broth, pesto, cream, and lemon juice to a skillet over medium-high heat. Give it a good stir so the pesto melts in.
- Once it starts to bubble, stir in the ravioli.
- Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook it for 5 minutes with the lid on.
- Give the ravioli a stir. The sauce should be a bit thicker by now. If it's still too watery for your liking, continue cooking it for another couple of minutes.
- Stir in the spinach, cover the pan again, and let it wilt for a minute or two.
- Season the dish with salt & pepper if needed and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top if desired.
Notes
- You do not need to boil the ravioli ahead of time. The starch released while the pasta is cooking thickens the sauce.
A few notes on the pesto:
Use low sodium broth if you don't like your food too salty. Some brands of pesto can be quite salty. Some brands of pesto can be quite lemony, so if that's the case with yours, you may want to skip the lemon juice. DeLallo is my favorite brand of pesto.
