    INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS

    • onions - you can use cooking onions or sweet onions
    • garlic - adds a lot of flavour!
    • mushrooms - I like to use Cremini mushrooms or you can use white button mushrooms or your favourite variety.
    • zucchini - 2 small zucchini. (7 to 9 inches long)
    • cornstarch
    • heavy cream - I like to use whipping cream or use can use any heavy cream from the dairy section of the grocery store.
    • milk
    • fresh Parmesan cheese - don't skip on the fresh cheese. The bottled stuff just doesn't add the same flavour in this recipe!
    • cheddar cheese - milk, medium or sharp cheddar; use your favourite.
    • refrigerated cheese ravioli - found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. (not frozen)
    • fresh Parsley for garnish

    step by step instructions

    Heat oven to 400°F.

    Onions, mushrooms and garlic in skillet with spoon.

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic, onions and mushrooms until softened. About 5 minutes.

    Zucchini is added to the skillet with mushrooms and onions.

    Stir in the zucchini and cook until zucchini is softened.It will continue to cook as you make the sauce in the same skillet.

    Milk and cream in glass containers.

    In a small glass container, whisk together cornstarch and milk. Mixing these two ingredients together will prevent the sauce from being lumpy.

    Next, stir the whipping cream into the milk mixture and stir well to combine.Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and cook until mixture is thickened and bubbly. (about 5 minutes)

    Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is added to skillet with cream sauce.

    Taste the sauce and add salt & pepper to taste. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the mixture and stir.

    Uncooked ravioli is added to the skillet.

    Stir in the ravioli. There is no need to boil the ravioli! It will bake in the sauce as it cooks! Stir to coat the ravioli, then transfer to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

    Top with fresh ground black pepper.

    For an extra-special treat, add one cup of fresh mozzarella cheese and broil for a few minutes for a gorgeous golden brown top.

        I made this last night and it was delicious! The only change that I made was adding additional zucchini as my package of ravioli was half of what the recipe called for. I loved it so much I shared the recipe with two people at work today. It is a perfect way to use the abundance of zucchini in my garden and is a great dish for my daughters who are vegans. I love making dishes for them that are real entree's and not just veggie side dishes.
