What You Get

Butternut ravioli

Shallot

Sultanas

Washed spinach

Parmesan cheese

Toasted and chopped almonds

What You’ll Need

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Butter or olive oil

Makes 3 servings

Active Time: 25 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes 

Step 1

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Set the ravioli by the stove, but don’t add them yet. (They cook quickly!) Slice the shallot.

Step 2

In a wide skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the shallot and sauté until soft, 5 minutes. Add half of the sultanas and stir to warm through, 1 minute. Add the spinach, a handful at a time, until wilted, 3 minutes. Season with ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 3

Add the ravioli to the pot of boiling water and cook until they float to the top, 5 minutes or according to the package instructions. Using a strainer or a slotted spoon, remove them from the water and transfer to the pan with the spinach, along with ¼ cup of the pasta water and the cheese. Return the pan to low heat, and stir gently to coat and let the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 4

Finish with salt and pepper to taste. Heap the ravioli on plates, sprinkle with the chopped toasted almonds, grind with pepper, and serve warm.
