Directions
Step 1
Start by cooking the whole wheat ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Pour the broth mixture into the skillet with the garlic. Stir in the nutritional yeast and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the baby spinach to the sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Gently fold in the cooked ravioli and cherry tomatoes into the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
