• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Zest and quarter lemon. Pick parsley leaves from stems; roughly tear leaves.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add panko; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Add zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Turn off heat. Stir in half the lemon zest; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Once water is boiling, gently add ravioli to pot. Reduce to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes. • Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for zucchini over medium-high heat. Add tomato paste, garlic powder, and half the Italian Seasoning (all for 4). Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Whisk in crème fraîche, cream cheese, stock concentrate, and ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4) until melted and combined. • Stir in ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4); season with salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and remaining lemon zest to taste. Simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes more.
• Gently stir drained ravioli into pan with sauce. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: If needed, stir in more reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until ravioli are coated in a creamy sauce. • Divide ravioli between bowls. Top with zucchini, toasted panko, and parsley. Serve.
