Preparing this Creamy Lemon Ravioli is as easy as 1-2-3! Follow these steps:
1. Cook the Ravioli: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the ravioli according to package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once melted and hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until it melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine Ravioli and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked ravioli into the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
7. Serve Hot: Remove from heat, and give it a final taste check. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
