There’s something undeniably comforting about a bowl of ravioli, especially when they’re filled with tender chicken, smoky bacon and gooey mozzarella. This dish takes it up a notch with a creamy Parmesan sauce, earthy sautéed mushrooms and bright tomato. It’s a quick, satisfying meal that feels like a special occasion.
The sauce comes together in minutes, using sour cream and Parmesan for richness, while the ravioli cook directly in the sauce to soak up all the flavor. A final sprinkle of Parmesan adds the perfect finishing touch. Pasta night just got a serious upgrade!

Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and thinly slice the mushrooms. Halve, peel and mince the shallot. Dice the tomato.
- Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and slightly crispy, 5-7 minutes. Add the shallot, half the Italian seasoning (use all for 4 servings) and 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until the shallot is softened, 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato, then reduce heat to medium. Add the sour cream, half the Parmesan (reserve the rest for serving), 1/4 cup water (1/3 cup for 4 servings) and 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings). Reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the water is boiling, gently add the ravioli to the pot. Reduce to a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the ravioli.
- Stir the cooked ravioli into the pan with the sauce. If needed, add the reserved pasta water a splash at a time until the pasta is coated in a creamy sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Divide the ravioli between bowls, top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of sour cream.
If you can’t find chicken and bacon ravioli, any cheese or meat-filled ravioli works well.
Reserve more pasta water than you think you’ll need-it’s the secret to a silky sauce.
FAQ
Can I use a different type of ravioli?
Absolutely! Any filled ravioli, such as cheese or spinach ricotta, will work beautifully in this recipe.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or milk to revive the sauce.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Yes, simply use a cheese or vegetable-filled ravioli and omit the bacon. The mushrooms and Parmesan provide plenty of savory flavor.
