Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler to high (or oven to 500°F). Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Strip about 1½ tablespoons of thyme leaves from the stems; discard the stems.
  2. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and thyme and cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the veggie stock concentrates and 2½ cups water and bring to a simmer.
  3. Once simmering, add the ravioli to the skillet. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to high and continue cooking, spooning the stock over the ravioli, until the ravioli are tender and the liquid has reduced, about 5-6 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir in the sour cream and fresh spinach until the spinach is wilted and everything is well combined. Season with salt and pepper. (If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of water.) If your skillet isn’t ovenproof, transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the panko-Parmesan mixture evenly over the ravioli. Broil until the topping is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Divide among plates and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

For a richer flavor, use chicken or vegetable stock instead of water with the stock concentrate.

If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, transfer the ravioli mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish before broiling.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.

FAQ

Can I use frozen ravioli?

Yes, frozen ravioli works well. There’s no need to thaw them first; just add them directly to the simmering liquid and increase the covered cooking time by 1-2 minutes.

Can I substitute the sour cream?

Absolutely. Greek yogurt or crème fraîche can replace sour cream for a similar tangy creaminess.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or milk to loosen the sauce.
