Instructions for four cheese ravioli with veggies:
Start water boiling, adding several dashes of salt
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Add shallots, & sweat for a minute. Add garlic, stirring to sauté. Add 4-6 grinds of black pepper to taste
Add wine, stir to scrape pan, cooking for a few minutes.
Drop the pasta into boiling water and boil, according to instructions.
While pasta is boiling, add a half cup of the veggie broth into the shallots and garlic, reserving rest till the end. Cook stirring for a couple of minutes.
Toss in the asparagus, and cook for 30 seconds.
Using a slotted spoon, add the cooked ravioli into the sauce.
After tossing the pasta to coat with sauce, add spinach & 1/2 the feta cheese. Toss gently, and add more broth to loosen, if needed. Finally, toss the fresh tomatoes in.
Now you can serve pasta in bowls, as this is a more brothy pasta dish. Top each dish of pasta with feta and pine nuts, and garnish with fresh basil.
Notes
You may sub parmesan cheese for feta cheese. We used shaved parmesan for top of pasta. You can also make this dish with pasta, and no cheese, for a dairy free dinner.
