Shrimp Ravioli

Ravioli and sweet little shrimp make an inviting pair in a creamy Parmesan sauce. Peas add bright bites between the pasta, with fresh herbs over the top. It's a generous bowl where the soft pasta filling gets its own share of the savory sauce.

A few quick notes

1. Dry shrimp before cooking

Pat the prepared shrimp dry, then cook just until no longer translucent and set aside.

2. Add liquids slowly

Whisk small additions of broth and milk into the butter-flour mixture, breaking up lumps.

3. Stop pasta short of fully soft

Cook the ravioli to the slightly firm stage described before lowering the heat for the finish.

Any more cooking tips?

The salt level can vary based upon the saltiness of your particular Parmesan cheese and chicken stock. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. To Store. This recipe is best enjoyed the day it is made but can last up to 2 days in the refrigerator. To Reheat. Gently warm in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of chicken stock or milk to keep the pasta from drying out and to rehydrate the sauce.
