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 (or more cream for extra richness)
½ cup Parmesan cheese
grated
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
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
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta or bacon until crispy. Add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
- Reduce heat to low, then stir in heavy cream, whole milk, and parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with black pepper and salt.
- Remove skillet from heat and whisk in egg yolks until well combined. Toss the cooked ravioli gently in the sauce.
- Add butter and stir until melted and the sauce coats the ravioli. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, parsley, and cracked black pepper to taste.
Notes
For a richer sauce, substitute the whole milk with additional heavy cream. Be careful not to overheat the sauce after adding the egg yolks to prevent scrambling.
