Better for you hamburger helper — that’s what we decided this recipe was. Reminiscent of hamburger helper but without all the preservatives and ingredients you can’t pronounce.

I tried stuffed shells for the first time a couple months ago and immediately fell in love with the entire concept of stuffed pastas. I still can’t believe I had never had them before! I’ve been spending a lot of time experimenting with different fillings, and I think this one is a winner. The hubby [...]

“Fried” Ravioli

June 22, 2007

One of our favorite little Italian places has this fabulous jalapeno ravioli. I’ve been craving it but I’ve been trying to avoid eating out. I decide to try making some spicy ravioli using store bought cheese ravioli. I used whole wheat Butioni ravioli, accompanied by homemade marinara for dipping. Yummy! “Fried” Ravioli 9 ounces Cheese [...]
