Grab a box of your favorite ravioli and make this cheesy Alfredo ravioli that fills your belly and tastes like a million bucks!

I’ll show you how to turn fresh or frozen ravioli into a delicious pasta night with all the creamy flavors of Alfredo sauce. It only takes 15 minutes!

Ravioli with Alfredo Sauce

I always keep a pack of ravioli in the freezer for emergency meals. My delicious cheesy Alfredo sauce mixed with stuffed ravioli is a combo I can't resist.

Like Alfredo with penne pasta, but even better and faster! Of course, you can use the ravioli with your favorite filling to satisfy your family's cravings.

Fresh or Frozen Ravioli

You can make this recipe using your favorite fresh or frozen ravioli; just follow the package directions to cook them properly. Since fresh ravioli cooking time is shorter, I recommend starting making the sauce when you bring water to a boil.

How to Make Alfredo Ravioli

First time making this creamy dish? Watch the quick recipe video below to see how it’s done. But first, some useful tips for perfect Alfredo ravioli:

Cook the ravioli
Follow the box instructions to cook the ravioli. If using fresh ravioli, start with the sauce while you bring the water to a boil.
Make the sauce
Toast garlic in butter for a delicious sauce base. Make sure the garlic doesn’t burn! Add cream, milk, grated cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, stirring constantly to combine. Cook for 5 minutes.
Combine
Combine cooked ravioli with the Alfredo sauce, top with more cheese, and enjoy!

Variations and Additions

This Alfredo ravioli is a satisfying meal by itself, but there’s always room for more nutrition and flavor! My favorite add-ins are chopped spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and peas.

Want a protein boost? Add some shredded cooked chicken, shrimp, leftover salmon, or sausage. So good!

What to Serve with Ravioli Alfredo

Ok, now how do you make this meal even more epic? Homemade bread is the perfect match for this dish. I also like to add extra veggies I can cook super quickly, like steamed green beans or spicy asparagus.

Watch how it’s made:

Ingredients

1 Family size package of ravioli, 18 ounces
3 tablespoons butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup heavy cream or half and half
½ cup whole milk
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg, optional

Instructions

Cook the ravioli:

Cook the pasta following the instructions on the box. Fresh ravioli take between 4 to 6 minutes to cook, so I recommend making the sauce while you bring the water to a boil. Drain the water and set the ravioli aside until you're ready to add it to the sauce.

Make the Alfredo sauce:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter, add the garlic, and stir to toast it for about a minute, ensuring it doesn't burn.
Pour in the cream or half and half and milk and stir constantly. Add the grated cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) and combine. Reduce the heat and continue cooking the Alfredo sauce for about 5 minutes.
