Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, gently add the Trader Joe's roasted cauliflower and cheese ravioli. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes, until they are tender and float to the surface. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the ravioli and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Swirl the oil in the pan until it shimmers.
  3. Add the sliced mini peppers to the hot skillet, stirring them gently. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they soften.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, sautéing for an additional 40 seconds until fragrant. Next, sprinkle in the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
  5. Quickly add the harissa paste and tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to integrate the bold flavors. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes.
  6. Gradually whisk in the coconut cream, reducing the heat to medium-low. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  8. Carefully toss the drained ravioli into the skillet, gently folding them into the creamy harissa sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
  9. Remove the skillet from heat and serve your Raviolis With Creamy Harissa Sauce immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
