• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 14-ounce can canned fire-roasted diced tomatoes

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

2. Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

3. Stir in the diced zucchini and canned fire-roasted tomatoes, including their juice. Cook for 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.

4. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the dried Italian seasoning, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 15 minutes, allowing the vegetables to become tender and the flavors to develop.

6. Add the cheese ravioli to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes or until the ravioli float to the top and are tender.

7. Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

8. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
