Question for Mom


What do you recommend as an easy emergency dinner? – Jeff B.

Freshly made Cheese Ravioli is a wonderful treat.  it’s not on my list of dishes I cook from scratch for one simple reason.  Time.  It would take me several hours to make it, and I have other things to do. 

Luckily many grocery stores carry fresh ravioli in their refrigerated cases.  They’re not cheap, but they are cheaper than a plate of ravioli at a restaurant.  Fresh ravioli take about 7 minutes to cook.  Add some garlic butter sauce, Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if you have it.  One 9-ounce package feeds two; one 20-ounce package feeds 4.  Add a salad and garlic bread, and it’s feast time.

If you keep packages of fresh ravioli in the freezer, eating them could become a habit.
