Instructions

Instructions for four cheese ravioli with veggies:

  • Start water boiling, adding several dashes of salt
  • Add pine nuts to a hot pan, and get them golden. This will take just a few minutes, and you will want to toss them and move them around so they do not burn.
    1/3 cup pine nuts
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Add shallots, & sweat for a minute. Add garlic, stirring to sauté. Add 4-6 grinds of black pepper to taste
    7 tablespoons butter divided into 4 and 3, 1 large shallot minced, 3 cloves garlic, Fresh ground pepper
  • Add wine, stir to scrape pan, cooking for a few minutes.
    ¼ cup white wine
  • Drop the pasta into boiling water and boil, according to instructions. 
    1 10 ounce bag of refrigerated four cheese ravioli
  • While pasta is boiling,  add a half cup of the veggie broth into the shallots and garlic, reserving rest till the end. Cook stirring for a couple of minutes.
    ½ cup veggie broth
  • Add in the lemon zest and juice.
    Zest of one Lemon, Juice of ½ Lemon
  • Toss in the asparagus, and cook for 30 seconds.
    1 lb asparagus
  • Using a slotted spoon, add the cooked ravioli into the sauce. 
  • After tossing  the pasta to coat with sauce, add  spinach &  1/2 the feta cheese. Toss gently, and add more broth to loosen, if needed. Finally, toss the fresh tomatoes in.
    2 cups of loosely packed fresh baby spinach, 1/3 cup crumbled Feta Cheese, 1 cup fresh cherry tomatoes
  • Now you can serve pasta in bowls, as this is a more brothy pasta dish. Top each dish of pasta with feta and pine nuts, and garnish with fresh basil.
    1/3 cup pine nuts, Fresh Basil

Notes

You may sub parmesan cheese for feta cheese. We used shaved parmesan for top of pasta. You can also make this dish with pasta, and no cheese, for a dairy free dinner.
