Source: my sister-in-lawI was at WinCo (the best grocery store) and saw that they had dried cheese ravioli in their bulk food section. What a great thing for food storage! So I bought some to try out before I stocked up. I fixed them up for dinner with this awesome recipe that I got from my sister-in-law:
(Umm...she didn't give me any measurements-a sign that she is a good cook, I think- so I kinda made these up on my own. Do whatever you think would be good.)
3 handfuls dried ravioli, boiled*
1 stick butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1-2 TBS parsley
1/3 c. pine nuts
Toast the garlic, parsley, and pine nuts in the butter over low heat. The trick is not to burn the butter. Mix in the cooked ravioli until it is well coated and serve.
This was the first time I have ever used pine nuts, and they are pretty tasty, although pretty pricey too. I will have to find more things to use them in. This dish was so delicious we had it twice this past week!
*With the dried ravioli, you really need to make sure that it is done. The second time I made this dish, I just boiled them until they floated which usually means they are done. Not so in this case! Boil them for at least 15 minutes, I'd say, maybe longer. Definitely check to make sure they are done before adding them to the butter mixture.
