Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon cooked, chopped
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 1 - 20 oz. package fresh or frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 c. frozen peas
- 1/2 c. heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 3 c. loosely packed arugula
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the ravioli according to package directions, or until just tender. Drain ravioli.

- Add the ravioli and cook until golden-brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium, and add the frozen peas, heavy cream, and garlic powder into the saucepan. Mix well.
