Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1/2 cup pesto, 1 cup heavy/whipping cream, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Stir continuously until the ingredients are fully combined and the pesto has melted into the cream.
- Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer (small bubbles around the edges), stirring occasionally.
- Once simmering, add 1 pound refrigerated cheese ravioli to the skillet and gently stir to coat the ravioli in the sauce and separate any pieces.
- Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Uncover and gently stir the ravioli. If the sauce is still too thin, continue cooking uncovered for another couple of minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your liking.
- Stir in 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach, then cover the skillet again and cook 1–2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve.

Notes
Youdo notneed 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.
