Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop half the leaves into bite-size pieces (all for 4 servings). Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Peel and mince garlic. Quarter lemon.
• Once water is boiling, add ravioli to 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.
• Meanwhile, heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped kale and tomato; season with half the Tuscan Heat Spice (all for 4 servings), ¼ tsp salt (½ tsp for 4), and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-7 minutes. • Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrate and ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (1⁄3 cup for 4); cook, stirring, until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese, 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4), 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.
• Gently stir drained ravioli into pan with sauce until coated. • Divide ravioli between plates and serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
LOVED THIS. I had to add another fresh tomato because I love love tomatoes. Ravioli was delicious. Sauce was shockingly good with the kale and lemon. The Tuscan seasoning shows up a lot and it's getting to be too frequent.
More healthy than some of your even creamier ravioli dishes, the tomatoes and kale provide a nutritious balance with the ricotta ravioli. And the bold lemony flavor is absolutely wonderful
I ate the two servings myself! Poor hubby. Oh well, I am a Pasta Monster and these ravioli were great. The kale tomato creamy sauce was super easy to make and splendidly delicious. So fresh and fabulous!
I really loved the ravioli - the filling meshed so well with the sauce. I also thought the tuscan heat spice was awesome! Could maybe use a teensy bit more sauce. I love that kale was used
The recipe was very fast, which I liked a lot. I'm not the biggest fan of kale personally but it came out fine. My biggest issue with the recipe was that making the ravioli was much much faster than the rest of the meal, despite being instructed to make it first. That led to the ravioli sitting around for a while as I made the rest of everything and that didn't feel great.
Light (despite the ravioli), fragrant and delicious. The kale gives it a nice crunch and Tuscan gives it the perfect amount of heat.
Absolutely fabulous! The Ravioli are filled perfectly with mild Ricotta and tomatoes, and the kale based sauce is surprisingly great. The Tuscan Heat spice kicks it up just enough. Be sure to pair it with a Hello Fresh garlic bread loaf!
This recipe is a lovely vegetarian pasta dish. The kale lemon sauce balances wonderfully with the ricotta ravioli. Overall this is a refreshing light meal.
My husband doesn't really care for ravioli but this one with the tomatoes and lots of kale felt so healthy and light he loved it
This recipe was extremely delicious, yet only because I cooked the double amount of sauce (using the full package of kale that was delivered plus add-ons to cream cheese and other from my fridge). Had I stuck to the recipe as suggested, the dish would have been a bit dry. Please try to err rather on the more generous side, than the other way round.
