Boil a large pot of water, add a generous pinch of salt, then add ravioli and cook just to al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing with a very small drizzle of olive oil if the sauce is not yet ready.
While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
Pour in the wine and bring sauce to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the wine is reduced by about half.
Reduce heat to medium, then stir in the cream, thyme, and lemon juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the sauce is smooth and heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste – I usually start with a heaping 1/4 teaspoon salt and 8-10 cranks of pepper. You may prefer more or less.
Gently stir ravioli into the sauce. Serve right away with additional lemon wedges and sprigs of fresh thyme, as desired.
- Variations/Add-Ins:
- Prefer a thicker, creamier sauce? Add 2-3 tablespoons of finely-grated Parmesan cheese along with the cream, and cook until fully melted. You can also pass Parmesan at the table if some diners would like it and others may not.
- Want to add veggies? Toss some sautéed zucchini or squash, baby spinach leaves, frozen peas, or halved cherry tomatoes in along with the cream.
- Love lemon? Add a light dash of lemon zest along with the lemon juice, or as a final garnish.
