Extra-Curricular Activities............

We all know how it feels to do 100 things in a day.  So after running around from activity to activity, its now time for dinner.  "What can I make that's quick and healthy", is the question we ask ourselves.  Soooooo, I'm here to help with recipes that are healthy and Quick !!

Microwavable Ravioli with Tomatoes

2-3 ripe tomatoes, chopped
(can also substitute 15 oz. can of diced tomatoes)
2 tbsp. snipped fresh basil or 1 tbsp. dried basil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp. lemon pepper

3 tbsp. olive oil

1 bag microwavable cheese ravioli

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

salt and pepper to taste

 

Combine chopped tomatoes, basil, garlic, lemon pepper, and olive oil in a large bowl. Let tomato mixture sit at room temperature for approximately thirty minutes.  Heat ravioli in the microwave according to the package instructions. I like the Rosetto All-Natural Steam ‘n Eat™ cheese stuffed ravioli that can be found in the freezer section of your local supermarket. And right now they also have a $1.50 coupon off of their products.  Finally, carefully add the hot pasta to the tomato mixture and gently toss to coat. Spoon on plates, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese, and serve
