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 1⁄2 cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.
• 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.
• Add stock concentrate, cream cheese, sour cream, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), 1⁄4 cup reserved pasta cooking water (1⁄2 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 shallow bowls and top with remaining Parmesan and lemon zest to taste. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
