I'm only at Dave's on Tuesdays and over the weekend, so smart grocery shopping and planning meals ahead of time is pretty rare for me. There's always that quick trip to the grocery store to grab a thing or two to make each meal happen. But then there are those times when you realize you randomly have all the things you need to make an amazing meal!
Veggie Vodka Ravioli
- Trader Joe's vodka sauce
- Trader Joe's spinach ravioli
- Green & red peppers
- Onion
- Mushrooms
- Parmesan & mozzarella cheese
- Sprinkle of oregano and basil to taste
1. Precook ravioli as directed on package (maybe a little less time than called for).
2. Slice veggies thin and saute in a pan over medium heat until slightly wilted.
3. Layer all ingredients in a baking pan.
4. Cook in oven at 350 degrees until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.
5. Think to yourself, dang this was easy and enjoy!
I didn't think this was going to be anything special when I started, but when I layered it all in the pan it really started to look amazing!
All of the veggies really complimented the sauce and the ravioli. And cheese makes everything better, duh :) I'm usually not that into ravioli, but I'm thinking my feelings come from plain cheese ravioli only accompanied by some tomato sauce. The spinach inside the ravioli changed things up a bit and I think I could add sauteed peppers, onions, and mushrooms to any pasta dish!
Some garlic bread made out of a leftover Wawa wheat shorty roll completed the meal. Win.
Do you like vodka sauce? Have you ever made it or had homemade?
I never had vodka sauce until the dining commons in college. My roomie loved it and I had never even heard of it! I've never had homemade vodka sauce, possible recipe to try in the future...?
I don't really like peppers but this looks so yummy! Pretty innovative using the wawa hoagie for bread too haha. PS- Wawa's gobblers are back. Spread the word bird.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was as creative as you are in the kitchen! This is the extent of my creativity: cook chicken, add pesto, add to pasta or salad. I need to get cooking!
