Chicken-Cheese Ravioli in Tomato Sauce


I took a half-day vacation on July 2 so that Josh, Ben and I (plus doggies) could leave on time for a weekend in San Antonio. Faced with the prospect of a lunch at home by myself, I opted to try something new.

Buitoni has a new line of ravioli pastas, and I chose the one with chicken and cheese. I made my typical tomato sauce - a can of tomato sauce, a tablespoon or two of mascarpone cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, salt and cracked black pepper, then added the cooked ravioli to it. I also added some freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese.

With a defrosted baguette, it was a huge lunch - way too much for me. But the ability to be able to eat undisturbed (except for the two dogs waiting hopefully for any droppings) was great, and I'll remember this as a quick dinner for me in the future.
