Author: The Chef
Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
2 (8 oz.) packages organic cheese ravioli (I love using Artisola)
2 cups chopped kale
2 cups Herb roasted tomatoes
HOMEMADE TUSCAN BLEND:
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tsps dried parsley
2 tsps dried basil
2 tsps dried oregano
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
CREAMY SAUCE:
2 Tbsps unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 ¼ cup organic heavy cream
½ cup vegetable stock
2 Tbsps white cooking wine
1-2 Tbsps Tuscan blend
1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice
½ cup freshly-grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
HERB ROASTED TOMATOES:
To make the roasted tomatoes, see my original recipe.
COOK THE PASTA:
Cook pasta according to packaging. NOTE: ravioli doesn’t take a long time to cook, usually 4-5 minutes, depending on brand.
TO MAKE THE CREAMY TUSCAN SAUCE:
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter until melted.
Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute or so, until fragrant. Add in 1-2 Tbsps tuscan blend seasonings and stir until well combined.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly add in the heavy cream, veggie stock, lemon juice, and white wine, stirring until combined. Let it slightly bubble for 1-2 minutes and then add in the grated parmesan, whisking until fully melted and sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the chopped kale, stirring until combined and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add in the roasted herb tomatoes and continue to stir until combined. NOTE: At this point, the sauce should change in color a bit, which is great!
When the ravioli is done, drain it and add it to the sauce, stirring until sauce fully coats + sticks to pasta. Serve immediately!
Bon Appetit!
