Ravioli a la Cali

The last month has been a bit more of a roller coaster than usual. Rushing around, feeling unorganized, blah, blah, blah. But even when life feels out of control, one thing you can still deliver is a quick, easy, tasty and comforting meal. While coming back late from the hospital, Pam, Dad and I were starving...but what do make? Too tired, little in the fridge...but belly groaning. Pam whipped this up and it more than hit the spot.

Ravioli on a Bed of Mixed Greens topped with Pine Nuts and Feta (I know, way too long a name)
Ingredients - serves four
  • 1 package of fresh, large ravioli (meat, veggie, whatever you like)
  • 1 package mixed field greens
  • 1/4 C pine nuts, toasted
  • 1 package crumbled feta
  • 4 T Italian or Balsamic dressing

Directions:

  • Cook ravioli as package indicates
  • Drain water and toss cooked ravioli with salad dressing
  • On each plate, arrange a bed of mixed greens (or watercress if you prefer)
  • Top greens with 4-5 ravioli
  • Top with crumbled feta (1 T ish)
  • Top with toasted pine nuts

The warmth of the ravioli with the dressing adds a great texture to your typical salad. The height also adds a nice element of interest on the plate. Hearty, healthy and semi-hip...Enjoy!

Liz Mohan added olives and it was extra yum.
