If you’ve ever tried the viral Marry Me Chicken Pasta, you know how creamy, comforting, and downright irresistible it is. This Marry Me Ravioli takes the same indulgent and irresistible flavors — sun-dried tomatoes, cream, Parmesan — and pairs them with pillowy ravioli for an even easier (and dare I say, tastier) version.
What is Marry Me Ravioli?
Marry Me Ravioli is a creamy, cheesy pasta dish inspired by the viral Marry Me Chicken. Instead of chicken, tender ravioli is tossed in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce with Parmesan and baby spinach.
This recipe is perfect for weeknights when you want something that feels a little more elevated than pasta and red sauce. It also works beautifully if you’re looking to woo a certain someone with a romantic dinner at home. If you’re in need of an easy but elegant Valentine’s Day dinner at home, for example, this is an obvious choice.
Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe serves 4. Here’s what you’ll need to make this dreamy Marry Me Ravioli:
- Ravioli – 22oz package, cooked al dente. I like to get my ravioli from Costco. Be sure to reserve about a cup of the starchy pasta water (AKA liquid gold) to loosen the sauce.
- Olive oil – or use the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar for greater and more flavorful impact.
- Onion & garlic – the flavor base. Dice the onions finely so it blends well into the sauce.
- Sun-dried tomatoes – rich, tangy, and slightly sweet. It also provides a nice textural element to the dish.
- Tomato paste – adds depth and richness
- Chicken stock & heavy cream – the foundation of the creamy sauce
- Parmesan cheese – freshly grated is always preferred, but use whatever you have.
- Baby spinach – for freshness and a little nutrition to balance the carbs and dairy.
Seasoning blend:
- Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika
How to Make Marry Me Ravioli (Step-by-Step)
Cook the ravioli
Boil ravioli according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
Make the flavor base
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until caramelized (about 5-6 minutes), then add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Build the sauce
Add butter and sun dried tomatoes, tomato paste and the seasoning blend. Saute for 1 minute to cook off the tomato, then pour in chicken stock and heavy cream. Mix well.
Combine pasta & sauce
Add drained ravioli to the pan, toss with Parmesan, then stir in baby spinach. Add reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
Serve & garnish
Plate the ravioli, top with extra Parmesan, and enjoy!
What to Serve with Marry Me Ravioli
- Garlic bread or crusty baguette (for soaking up the sauce)
- A simple green salad with vinaigrette (since the pasta dish is creamy and hearty, keep the salad toppings and dressings light)
- Roasted broccoli or asparagus (simply toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper and cook in the oven or air fryer)
FAQ About Marry Me Ravioli

Any type of ravioli works well for this recipe. You can use a cheese and spinach ravioli or something that includes meat. Lobster ravioli would make this dish extra fancy and special.
Can I make it vegetarian?
Swap chicken stock for vegetable broth and choose cheese or veggie-filled ravioli.
What other pasta can I use?
Tortellini works beautifully, but penne or fettuccine also hold up well with the sauce.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or pasta water to loosen the sauce.
