Chicken Alfredo Ravioli is one of those 15 minute dinners you love. Rich and creamy Alfredo sauce covers cheese ravioli (or your favorite.
Ravioli is one of my favorite comfort foods. There is something about it being chewy, cheesy, and high in carbs that whispers comfort to my inner child. I like making it homemade but most often I buy the frozen cheese ravioli from Costco. I know it is not as delicious as fresh ravioli but it suits me just fine.
Most often, at least around here, it is either served with a tomato based sauce or plain butter and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Well this time I decided to use a chicken Alfredo sauce. SCORE!
I don’t understand why I hadn’t used it before – Chicken Alfredo Ravioli is absolutely delicious. If I hadn’t had spinach and mushroom haters at the table I would have added sauteed mushrooms and spinach both!
If you haven’t made an Alfredo sauce before try this just once. Fresh is fast and so much better than canned.

I love the idea of ravioli in Alfredo sauce. Like you, I often buy the store-bought ravioli, but then want to “dress it up” with homemade sauce. This looks simple enough to do on a weekday evening and with ravioli in the freezer, I think I’m set.
It is easy! And you can make it a couple of days ahead of time, too.
After a day like today this looks ALL kinds of wonderful! Saving and sharing!! oxox
Thanks Gwen!
Wow that looks amazing enough to go off my diet for a day! My kids will love it too!
That is one of the problems of this dish…It is a diet buster.

Toodles,

Thanks Tammy!
Oh yeah, ravioli is perfect comfort food! That sauce looks killer…so much better than anything that comes out of a jar!
Thanks it really is..
My cream cheese will not blend with the butter. Any tips?
make sure the cream cheese is well softened – and whisk like crazy!
Don’t use real butter, it just seperates.
I disagree. I have never had it separate.
Looks Delicious and pretty easy to make! Thanks for sharing!
🙂 It is awesome – and perfect for those days when you have ZERO time.
