## 🌿 Variations and Tips
* **Protein Addition**: For a heartier meal, consider adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or crispy bacon to the dish.
* **Vegetarian Twist**: Incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or artichokes for added flavor and nutrition.
* **Vegan Adaptation**: Use plant-based ravioli and substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or a cashew cream sauce. Replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
* **Spice It Up**: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to introduce a spicy kick to the dish.
* **Make-Ahead**: Prepare the sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before combining with freshly cooked ravioli.

## 🧑🍳 Chef’s Tips
* **Quality Ingredients**: Opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients to enhance the flavor of the dish. Fresh spinach and mushrooms will provide a vibrant taste and texture.
* **Cooking Pasta**: Avoid overcooking the ravioli to maintain their delicate texture. Stir gently when combining with the sauce to prevent them from breaking.
* **Adjusting Consistency**: If the sauce becomes too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
* **Garnishing**: Fresh herbs like basil
