Olive Garden-Inspired Ravioli Carbonara: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 package of fresh cheese ravioli (about 16 ounces)
– 4 ounces pancetta, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Extra Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating Olive Garden-Inspired Ravioli Carbonara is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Ravioli: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Pancetta: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced pancetta. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low, and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

4. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

5. Combine Ingredients: Quickly add the drained ravioli to the skillet with the garlic. Stir to coat the pasta in the pancetta fat, ensuring all ingredients mix well.

6. Add the Sauce: Remove the skillet from the heat, and pour the egg and cream mixture over the ravioli. Toss quickly to combine, ensuring the sauce coats the pasta without scrambling the eggs.

7. Add Pancetta: Fold in the crispy pancetta to add flavor and texture to the dish.

8. Check Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a small amount of the reserved pasta cooking water until you reach your desired consistency.

9. Serve Right Away: Plate the ravioli carbonara immediately while it’s still warm.

10. Garnish: Top with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious Olive Garden-Inspired Ravioli Carbonara that your family and friends will love!
