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!

Raspberry Pomegranate Jam

Tis the season to be making homemade gifts! Pomegranates are in season and their juice is a festive deep ruby red color. I knew I had to make them into a jam to give away. Straight pomegranate flavor is a little tart for me; I added raspberries for the texture of their seeds and their sweetness. This is a very simple recipe to make and will yield 6 to 7 8 ounces jars of jam or 12 to 14 4 ounce jars, if you like to give away sample sizes during the holidays. Enjoy! Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups pomegranate juice 1 cup mashed raspberries 7 cups sugar 1 tablespoon butter 1 1/75 ounce package Sure Jell Method: Sterilize your jars and lids. Set aside. In a heavy bottomed large stock pot, add the pomegranate juice, raspberries and butter. Mix well. Add in the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil then stir in the Sure Jell. Allow to boil hard for 1 minutes. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle into the sterile jars, twist on the lids and pr

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 sticks of

Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy!
