Ingredients

6 -8 ounces fresh snow peas, trimmed

1/4 cup water
salt
16 ravioli, refrigerated (store-bought of your choice)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce Ingredients
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 cup cream or 3/4 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
2 teaspoons lemon zest, matchstick pieces
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese or 2 tablespoons romano cheese

Preparation

Slice snow peas diagonally in half for easier eating.
Heat a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium high heat and add snow peas, red pepper flakes, water, and salt to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes until peas are tender. Do not over cook and remove from heat.
Heat a large nonstick skillett over medium and add olive oil and ravioli in two batches. Cook until brown on one side, about 2-3 minutes. Flip ravioli, add 2 T water to skillet, cover and steam until soft, about 1-2 minutes more.
Remove ravioli to a plate and repeat with second batch.
For the sauce:
Saute garlic in butter in a small skillet about 1 minute. Stir in cream, increase heat to high, and boil until cream is reduced to about 1/2 C, about 3 minute.
Stir in lemon juice and season sauce with salt and pepper.
On a large platter, place half of the ravioli, scatter snow peas, and the remaining ravioli. Top with sauce, Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest.
Or divide into 2 separate portions on two plates with ravioli, snow peas, ravioli, sauce, Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest.
