Ravioli Pizza

 


Do you ever want to combine two of your favorite foods and see if they get even better? In the case of pasta and pizza, the answer is yes. Cheese ravioli with pepperoni, delicious marinara, broiled with more cheese on top? It's THE food for the end of the semester. Yum. Sprinkle over some scallions for the obligatory pop of green and you have a meal for the gods.


Ingredients:

1 half stick of pepperoni, chopped into small pieces

1 pound bag of cheese ravioli

1 tablespoon oil

1 ounce fontina, shredded

1 ounce parmesan, shredded

1 ounce pecorino, shredded

1 garlic clove, minced

8 ounce can tomato sauce

2 plum tomatoes, diced

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

pinch red pepper flakes

salt and pepper, to taste


Method: Preheat the oven to broil.

In a large skillet, oil the oil and pepperoni to the pan over medium high heat. Cook until the pepperoni is crispy and has rendered its fat; about 4 minutes. Remove to another pan.

Add the ravioli in a thin layer in the skillet. Let cook for 2 minutes until brown. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan and add a lid; cook the ravioli for 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl.

To the skillet, add the garlic, italian seasoning, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes and balsamic vinegar. Cook 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and the vinegar slightly reduces. Add the tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Turn on the heat and add the ravioli to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle over the cheese and pepperoni and put under the broiler under cheese is melted and golden in places. Remove to cool for 5 minutes before dishing up. Enjoy!

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar.  My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together.  I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 ...

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro.

Deluxe BLT- with avocado, Emmental cheese, and asiago bread

 I don't normally feature sandwiches on this blog, but I simply cannot ignore this one. It's too good! The method is dead simple, but perhaps I can include a tip or two you may not have thought of to elevate your BLT to the next level! Ingredients: Bacon, best quality but thinly sliced Tomatoes (ideally fresh from your garden) Romaine lettuce Mayo Emmental cheese Asiago bread salt, pepper, butter Method: In a large sheet pan with a wire rack, lay your bacon out. In a preheated 400 degree F oven, bake for 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.  Slice your tomatoes and salt and pepper them. The salt is non-negotiable despite the saltiness from the bacon- the salt brings the flavor out of the tomato. Do not skip! Slice avocados. Rip lettuce to desired sizes for bread. Freshly slice bread and butter one side. In a large pan over medium high head, toast the buttered side of each bread slice. Lay a slice of Emmental cheese on one of the bread slices, and allow to melt. Time to con...
