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.
