Ingredients
  

For the Ravioli Carbonara
  • 25 oz frozen cheese ravioli
  • 4 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
To taste
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
For garnish
  • Fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Skillet
  • Colander
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Knife and Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the frozen cheese ravioli and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes. Once cooked, drain the ravioli using a colander and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, add the chopped bacon and cook over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the bacon is crispy and browned, approximately 6-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
  3. Step 3: Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Step 4: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Step 5: Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the garlic. Pour the creamy sauce over the ravioli and gently toss to combine.
  6. Step 6: Incorporate the cooked bacon back into the skillet. Stir gently for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the ravioli evenly.
  7. Step 7: Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the ravioli warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
