Instructions
• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Halve bell pepper; remove stem and seeds. Peel and thinly slice garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.
• Place bell pepper on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange cut sides down. • Roast on middle rack until softened and lightly charred, 20-25 minutes. • Let bell pepper cool slightly, then transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice into strips.
• When bell pepper is almost done roasting, gently add ravioli to pot of boiling water. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente and floating to the top, 4-5 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.
Rinse shrimp under cold water. Pat shrimp or chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp or chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add spinach and garlic to pan; cook, stirring, until spinach is wilted and garlic is softened, 2-3 minutes.
Use pan used for shrimp or chicken here.
• Add stock concentrate, cream cheese, sour cream, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings), and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) to pan with spinach mixture. • Whisk until combined and creamy, then stir in sliced bell pepper. • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Add drained ravioli to pan with sauce; gently toss until thoroughly coated. TIP: If necessary, stir in more pasta cooking water a splash at a time until ravioli are coated in a creamy sauce. • Divide between plates and top with remaining Parmesan and lemon zest to taste. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
Add shrimp or chicken along with ravioli to pan with sauce.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
