with Zucchini & Toasted Buttery Panko
Tender ravioli are pretty much a win in any form, but they’re especially delish when packed with savory tomato and creamy ricotta. Toss them in a delicious cream sauce loaded with zucchini, scallions, and lemon, then give your bowl the crunch treatment with a shower of buttery toasted panko breadcrumbs. What’s that thumping sound? Oh yes, it’s the beating of our pasta-loving hearts!

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. (TIP: Cover pot with a lid to boil water faster.) Wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; thinly slice into half-moons. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lemon. **Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or sausage; cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.**
• Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a large pan over medium heat. • Add panko, a pinch of salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan. **Use pan used for chicken or sausage here.**
• Once water is boiling, gently add ravioli to pot. (TIP: Move on to the next step if the water has not boiled yet.) Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente and floating to the top, 3-4 minutes. • Reserve ¾ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain. TIP: Gently shake strainer with ravioli in it to remove as much moisture as possible.
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for panko over medium-high heat. Add zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Add scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, 30-60 seconds more. • Stir in cream sauce base, stock concentrate, garlic powder, ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water, ¼ tsp sugar, and juice from half the lemon. (For 4 servings, use ¾ cup pasta cooking water, ½ tsp sugar, and juice from whole lemon.)
• Add drained ravioli to pan with sauce; turn to coat. Simmer until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes more. • Turn off heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted and combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. TIP: If necessary, stir in more pasta cooking water a splash at a time until everything is coated in a creamy sauce. **Add chicken or sausage to sauce along with ravioli.**
• Divide ravioli between plates and top with toasted panko. Garnish with scallion greens. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side. ***Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
