Ingredients
  

12 oz refrigerated or frozen cheese ravioli

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Marinara sauce (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Ravioli: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once the water is at a rolling boil, gently add the ravioli. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes for fresh ravioli. If using frozen, it may take a little longer. Make sure they are al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Make the Butter Mixture: In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let the mixture bubble for about 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

      Toast the Ravioli: Carefully add the cooked ravioli to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the butter mixture. Let them toast in the skillet undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until they achieve a golden-brown color on one side. Flip the ravioli gently using a spatula, and toast the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.

        Add Cheese: Once both sides are crispy, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the ravioli and let it melt for about 1 minute, while gently tossing to ensure the ravioli is evenly coated.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the crispy butter-toasted ravioli to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
