Instructions

1. Preheat your broiler to high (or oven to 500°F). Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion; save the other half for another use. Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and discard the stems.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large ovenproof pan over medium heat. Add the thyme and sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Stir in the veggie stock concentrate and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer. Add the ravioli to the pan, cover, and cook for 4 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. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Remove the pan from the heat. Gently stir in the sour cream and spinach until the spinach is wilted and everything is well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. If the sauce seems too thick, add up to ½ cup water to loosen it.
6. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the ravioli. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until the topping is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Divide among plates and serve immediately.
