italian vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 6.0 oz spinach
  • 1.0 unit lemon
  • 1.0 unit roma tomato
  • 1.0 clove garlic
  • 2.0 tablespoons butter
  • 2.0 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 2.0 teaspoons cooking oil
  • pepper (to taste)
  • salt (to taste)
  • 1.0 tablespoon tuscan heat spice
  • 9.0 oz fresh ravioli
  • 0.5 cup veggie stock

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Peel and mince garlic. Quarter lemon.
  2. Step 2: Once water is boiling, add ravioli to the pot. Immediately reduce to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until ravioli are tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water, then drain and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add spinach, ripping it apart before putting it into the pot with tomato; season with half the Tuscan Heat Spice, ¼ tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper. When the spinach is fully wilted, add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  4. Step 4: Add veggie stock and ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water; cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened, 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese, 2 TBSP butter, and a squeeze of lemon juice until melted and combined. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time.
  5. Step 5: Gently stir drained ravioli into pan with sauce until coated. Divide ravioli between plates and serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
