Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 red onion, minced
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped in small cubes
  • 2 small mini yellow peppers, diced
  • 2 small mini red peppers, diced
  • 2 small mini orange peppers, diced
  • ⅓ cup dry white wine
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ cup (or more) organic vegetable stock
  • 2 Tofurky Chick'n & Apple Sausage (1/2 package), sliced lengthwise into quarters and then chopped
  • 8-10 minced sage leaves
  • 2 tablespoons minced flat leaf parsley
  • 1 box Rio Bertolini's Vegan Tuscan Bean and Basil Ravioli
  • 1 box Rio Bertolini's Vegan Butternut Squash Ravioli
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Put a large pot of water on to boil. Cover it with a lid so that it comes to a boil faster.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Saute the red onion over low heat 6-7 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic.
  3. Saute the cubed butternut squash for 8 minutes, adding the peppers after 5 minutes.
  4. Add the white wine and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the lemon juice, and then the stock.
  5. Let everything simmer until the squash is tender (about 5-6 minutes more).
  6. Add the sausage pieces, sage, and parsley, and cook 3-4 minutes.
  7. Break the ravioli into pieces along the perforated lines. They come 12 to a box, so you will have 24 ravioli. Add about 2 tablespoons of salt to the boiling water. Add the ravioli to the briskly boiling salted water. Cook until the ravioli rise to the surface. Before draining, dip out a cup of the starchy pasta water in case you need it to thin the sauce.
  8. Season sauce to taste and serve over the Rio Bertolini vegan ravioli. Thin the sauce with a little of the pasta water if needed. Enjoy!
