Follow these simple steps to create your Ravioli in Creamy Tuscan Sauce:
- Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
