Creamy Cajun Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

When hot, add the courgette and cook until charred, 6-8 mins total. Turn only every couple of mins. Once cooked, season with salt and pepper, then transfer the courgette to a bowl. 

Meanwhile, add the ravioli to the water and bring back to the boil.

Cook until tender, 3 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan.

Drizzle with oil and gently stir through to stop it sticking together.

Wipe out the (now empty) pan and pop on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Stir in the garlic and Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder), cook for 1 min.

Add the tomato puree, creme fraiche, vegetable stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) to the pan.

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 mins.

Once the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat. Stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) and the hard Italian style cheese until melted. 

Gently stir the cooked ravioli and charred courgette into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if needed.
