I'm looking for a fast homemade ravioli sauce?
I'm making a basic beef stuffed ravioli. I thought it would be sad to spend the time making the dough and the filling, just to open a jar of Ragu to pour over it. Thanks

Here is a basic, easy cream sauce that seems to compliment most everything when it comes to pasta.
1 quart heavy cream
1 tb. olive oil
2 cloves chopped garlic (more if you LOVE garlic)
3/4 c fresh parmesan
3 tb. finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes (more if you want a bit of a kick)
2 tb. butter
coarse salt and fresh black pepper to taste
Sautee garlic in butter and olive oil over medium low heat until soft. Add heavy cream, basil, red pepper, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add 1/2 c. of parmesan. Serve and garnish with remaining parmesan and additional basil (optional).
