Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 package store-bought ravioli (cheese or seafood filling) For convenience, use store-bought ravioli.
  • 1 cup shrimp, peeled and deveined Can substitute with other seafood if desired.
  • 1 cup scallops Fresh scallops yield the best flavor.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped Spinach can be substituted with other greens.
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced Any type of mushrooms can be used.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Adjust garlic amount to taste.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter option, use half-and-half.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Can use butter for extra flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust seasoning to preference.
  • Fresh parsley for garnish Chopped parsley for presentation.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the ravioli according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, toss in the shrimp and scallops. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Allow the cream to thicken slightly—about 3-4 minutes.
Combine and Serve
  1. Return the cooked seafood back into the skillet, add the chopped spinach, and stir until the spinach has wilted.
  2. Pour in the cooked ravioli, gently tossing everything together to coat the pasta in the garlic cream sauce.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately while hot!

Notes

Ravioli Selection: Consider using homemade ravioli for an extra-special touch. Ingredient Substitutions: Swap the seafood for shredded chicken or diced tofu. Cooking Timing: Be careful not to overcook the seafood; it should be tender but not rubbery.
