Cooking Steps
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick half- moons. Halve tomatoes lengthwise. Quarter meatballs.
• Once water is boiling, gently add ravioli to pot; reduce to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente and floating to the top, 4-5 minutes. Reserve 1⁄2 cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain. • While ravioli cook, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook until just starting to soften, 2-3 minutes. • Add tomatoes, meatballs, half the garlic powder, and 1 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice (all the garlic powder and 2 tsp Tuscan Heat Spice for 4). Cook until tomatoes begin to break down, 2-3 minutes more.
• Stir cream sauce base, cream cheese, and stock concentrate into pan with meatball mixture. • Add drained ravioli and cook, stirring, until coated in a creamy sauce (if sauce seems too thick, stir in reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time). Season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Divide creamy spinach ravioli and meatballs between bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Amazing dish. The cream sauce and cheese over zucchini, tomato, meatballs & ravioli... so good.
I was given a regular tomato rather than grape tomatoes so I did have to get some, but I'll use the regular tomato with the burger coming up. That aside, this was delicious. These are great raviolis with a wonderful sauce. Terrific dish.
Taste good. I was lenient with the Tuscan heat spice and will use it more liberally next time as the dish was rather bland but good
This was such a great dish - very good and tasted rich
First time for this one and we really enjoyed. Will be looking for when it is offered again.
Not a fan of this one. However it was easy to make.
The ravioli was great. The rest of the dish was blah. Could have used some spices to wake up the taste.
This was very good, but I would have preferred cheese ravioli. The spinach ravioli did not taste good to me.
Very good could have had more meatballs but delicious
Not sure the grape tomatoes added much to the dish.
