INGREDIENTS:

Serves 4, see nutrition information below

• 4 large handfuls of fresh baby SPINACH
  
• 1/4 cup ALMONDS - Sliced
• RAVIOLI - Butternut squash, very much recommend Rising Moon organic ravioli, 1.5 packages
  
• 4 large links of vegetarian SAUSAGE - must be sweet, with apple especially recommended. Sliced in 1/4" slices.
• 1/2 cup SCALLIONS, fresh, sliced
• 4 cloves GARLIC or to taste, diced small.
• 1 tbsp ALMOND OIL
• 2 tbsp OLIVE OIL
• 1/4 cup PARMESAN CHEESE fresh, finely grated

Add ravioli to boiling water. Stir, reduce heat to a gentle boil.

Add sausage slices to pan with almond oil and saute on medium heat. In the meantime, keep an eye on the ravioli (done when it's floated to the top for a couple of minutes and all pillowy), and prepare the garlic and scallions, set aside.

When ravioli is done, strain in a colander, put aside.

When sausage has begun to carmalize, add olive oil, garlic and almonds, saute on medium high heat, stirring to keep from burning. After a few moments, add the ravioli, be careful for it not to stick to pan. You'll want to keep it moving, until almonds and ravioli show a little light brown.

Add spinach, keep tossing until spinach has fully wilted.

Serve with a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top.
