(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Pasta

Ingredients

  • 18 ounce Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage
  • 4 Scallions
  • 2 Roma Tomato
  • 2 Lemon
  • 2 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 18 ounce Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli
  • 2 Chicken Stock Concentrate
  • 8 tablespoon Sour Cream
  • 2 tablespoon Vegetable Oil*
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

  1. Wash and dry all produce. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove sausage from casings; discard casings. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, keeping greens and whites separate. Core and seed tomato, then dice into ½-inch cubes. Cut lemon into wedges.

  2. Heat 1 TBSP oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, sausage, and Italian seasoning, breaking up meat into pieces. Cook, tossing, until sausage is browned and cooked through and scallions are softened, 3-5 minutes. Stir in tomato and cook until just softened, 1-2 minutes.

  3. Once water boils, add ravioli to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente and floating to the top, 4-5 minutes. Scoop out and reserve ½ cup ravioli cooking water, then carefully drain. TIP: Gently shake your strainer with the drained ravioli in it to dry them off as much as possible.

  4. Reduce heat under pan with sausage mixture to low, then add a squeeze of lemon juice, a small splash of reserved ravioli cooking water, and stock concentrate. Give everything a stir, scraping up any browned bits on bottom of pan. Stir in 1 TBSP butter and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Add more cooking water as needed to give sauce a loose consistency.

  5. Carefully stir ravioli into pan. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze or two of lemon juice (to taste).

  6. Divide ravioli mixture between bowls, then sprinkle with scallion greens. Serve any remaining lemon on the side for squeezing over.
