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. 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.
Meatballs are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165º.

Reviews from our home cooks
This one wasn't my favorite. The ravioli was generic and it was hard to get the sauce quite right. In general, I didn't love the meatballs and other items in the sauce.
This was amazing!! Meatballs hard to get out of packaging but worth every bite!
Took longer to make than I thought, considering it was supposed to be a 15-minute meal!
Ordered a second time!!! 10/10!!!! Whole family loved this one!!
