Ingredients

  • 1 package of your favorite ravioli boiled and drained
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion minced
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp tomato sauce or 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 10oz can diced rotel tomatoes with green chilis drained
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • In a pan over med high heat, melt the butter and add onions. Cook for 4 mins until onions are translucent. Next add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle in the all purpose flour and cook for 1-2 mins until flour is cooked and forms a light brown color.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and whisk everything until there is not more flour lumps.
  • Add the can of rotel tomatoes, tomato paste and freshly grated parm cheese. Add the salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, dried oregano and bring sauce to a low simmer.
  • Add cooked ravioli or pasta of choice into the sauce and garnish with parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can replace all purpose flour with gluten free flour. 
  • Make sure you drain the can of rotel tomatoes because the extra water from the can will really make the sauce runny. 
  • Please use good parmesan cheese and not the pre shredded one that comes in a bottle.
