Assemble the Ravioli:

2. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and gently toss to coat.

2. Serve immediately.
