With my girls off babysitting today and my son helping my hubby chop wood all afternoon, I enjoyed a Sunday afternoon watching a Law & Order: SVU marathon that I had recorded on the DVR.
A warm, crackling fire? Check.
A cup of Sleepytime Herbal Tea? Check.
My favorite Nonni's Caramel Milk Chocolate Biscotti Bites? Check.
Comfy yoga pants and fuzzy socks? Check.
Stabler and Benson on my t.v. screen? Check.
It was an afternoon of pure bliss.
(And, just so you don't think that I'm too incredibly lazy ... I did bundle up [eventually] and trek outdoors to help with the final hour or so of wood stacking.)
Oh, and I made dinner.
But, shhhhhh! Don't tell my family how quick and easy this recipe is to make! I'm positive that they think I must have been slaving away all day putting this together! (It'll be our little secret.)
This is such a simple recipe as it is written. But, it is easy to adapt it to suit your preferences. Round or square ravioli can be used. Refrigerated "fresh" ravioli can be used or you can use frozen ravioli. I keep this vegetarian, but you can layer in cooked ground beef or sausage. And, adding in fresh spinach or mushrooms, for example, makes this super hearty and gives you another layer of flavor.
Yields 4 - 6 servings.
