Cheese ravioli in a tomato cream sauce made with our Southern Vineyard Petite Diced Tomatoes for a quick weeknight meal. We added Italian sausage to make this a hearty meal, but kept tomato cream sauce light for a meal that doesn't feel heavy. A gourmet dish that you can serve dinner guests!

Ingredients

Copy List2

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound Italian turkey sausage, link or bulk, if link remove casings; can also use regular Italian sausage
5 scallions, sliced, white and green parts divided
2 tablespoons Tuttorosso® Tomato Paste
1 (14.5 ounce) can Tuttorosso® Italian Inspirations Southern Vineyard Petite Diced Tomatoes
1 (25 ounce) package cheese ravioli, frozen or fresh
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 package chicken stock concentrate
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Heat oil over medium heat in a large heavy bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven. Add sausage, scallion whites, and Italian seasoning. Cook until sausage is browned and cooked through and scallions are softened. To the browned sausage, add the tomato paste and cook 1-2 minutes to soften and slightly caramelize. Add the Southern Vineyard Petite Diced Tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce liquid about by 1/3 over low heat.
In a large pot, heat water to boil ravioli. Once boiling, add ravioli and cook according to package directions. Scoop out and reserve about 2 cups of the pasta water. Drain the ravioli.
To the sausage and tomato mixture add the chicken stock concentrate, and lemon juice, stir to combine. Add the heavy cream and butter, stir gently. Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, divide ravioli among bowls or small plates, top with sausage and tomato cream sauce and garnish with green scallions.

Cook's Note:
Chicken stock concentrate is a small packet that contains reduced stock that is intensely flavored. You can find these in the same area where you find the boxes or cans of stock and broth. we like to use it as a flavor punch, because gives a nice rich flavor to this dish.
