Ravioli With Cream, Bay Leaf and Sage recipe - The Daily Meal
Total time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 imported bay leaves
  • salt
  • 1 pound fresh, cheese-filled ravioli
  • large handful of fresh sage, rinsed and patted dry
  • freshly ground black pepper
Directions
  1. In a large, shallow skillet that will hold all of the pasta, combine 1 cup heavy cream and 6 bay leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to very low and simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes, to infuse the cream with the flavor of the bay. Remove and discard the leaves.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and add 1 pound fresh, cheese-filled ravioli. Cook until just tender. Drain.
  3. Add the ravioli to the cream mixture and toss to coat with the cream.
  4. Evenly divide the pasta among 4 shallow, warmed serving bowls. Spoon the sauce over the pasta. With scissors, snip a large handful of fresh sage and sprinkle it on top of each serving. Sprinkle generously with the pepper and serve immediately.
