Welcome to My Blog!

If you're visiting for the first time, be sure and read my "Welcome to My Blog" post in February. It's the first one and it explains why I started doing this. So far it's been a lot of fun; it kind of feels like a diary.

Ravioli with Spinach, Tomatoes and Pine Nuts

I like to buy ravioli at Costco and keep it in the freezer for quick and easy dinners.  This time they had ravioli with quinoa, kale, and butternut squash.  Mighty tasty!  Made a super easy and quick sauce that goes well with any flavor of ravioli.

14 oz. package of ravioli
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
5 oz. fresh baby spinach
1 clove garlic
2-3 T. pine nuts, toasted
2-3 T. fresh basil, chiffonade
Fresh grated parmesan

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.  Add the pasta and cook according to package directions.  While water is coming to a boil, make the sauce.

Heat a skillet and add a little olive oil.  Add the diced tomatoes and cook for a minute or two.  Add the garlic and spinach and cook for another minute.  Season with salt.  Add the pine nuts and basil. 

Remove the pasta with a slotted spoon and put directly into the sauce.  Add a little pasta water if necessary.  Top plated pasta with parmesan.
