Ingredients
  

For the Ravioli Carbonara
  • 9 oz frozen cheese ravioli
  • 4 strips bacon chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Colander
  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Cooking Spatula or Tongs
  • Chopping Board and Knife

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the frozen cheese ravioli and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Once cooked, drain the ravioli in a colander and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once crispy, use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
  3. Step 3: Add the minced garlic to the hot skillet with the remaining bacon fat. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Step 4: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and eggs until well combined. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Step 5: Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Then, pour the cream mixture over the ravioli and add the crispy bacon. Gently toss everything together to coat the ravioli in the creamy sauce.
  6. Step 6: Allow the dish to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. This will help the sauce thicken slightly, creating a luscious coating for the ravioli.
  7. Step 7: Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
