    Pampered Chef

    Recipe Introduction


    Refrigerated cheese-filled ravioli and vegetables are tossed in a velvety sauce for a meatless dish that comes together in no time

    List of Ingredients





    1 package (8 ounces) mushrooms, sliced
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
    2 packages (9 ounces each) refrigerated light cheese-filled ravioli
    2 garlic cloves, pressed
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel)
    1/3 cup fat-free evaporated milk (see Cook's Tip)
    1 package (10 ounces) frozen creamed spinach in low-fat sauce, thawed
    Grated fresh Parmesan cheese (optional)

    Directions:
    1. Slice mushrooms using Egg Slicer Plus(R). Chop onion using Food Chopper. Dice bell pepper using Chef's Knife.

    2. Cook ravioli according to package directions in Professional (4-qt.) Casserole. Drain using large Colander and return to casserole; cover and keep warm.

    3. Meanwhile, heat Large (10-in.) Skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray; add mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, garlic pressed with Garlic Press and black pepper. Cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until vegetables are tender and all liquid is absorbed.

    4. Reduce heat to low; add cream cheese and evaporated milk. Stir until cream cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Stir in creamed spinach. Simmer over low heat 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Pour vegetable mixture over ravioli; stir gently. Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
