I made a small batch of meatless pasta sauce we served over Italian sausage ravioli.

I was going to make something in the Instant Pot today, but instead, I made a batch of yogurt in it (finishes in about an hour), and took a loaf of bread out of the freezer, to have some sandwiches with, which was good, since it was hot out today! That other thing I'll make when it gets cooler, which is soon.

I had the leftover chicken breast from yesterday in a sandwich with lettuce. Then a bit later, I had some rice with corn, butter, and tamari. Having a rough day today.

 

[dragnlaw]

Cooked up some ground beef with taco seasoning. Out of hopefully 3 meals guess I'm only getting 2.
Also slow cooked some chicken legs for a couple more meals this week.
Hoping to do out of freezer and fridge instant reheat meals this week.

What are "out of freezer and fridge instant reheat meals"?

 

[dragnlaw]

Don't quite know how to answer that. Didn't want people to know I have a Robo Cook. She walks to the fridge or freezer, opens the door chooses the meal I specify, brings it to the micro wave or toaster oven, heats it to a desired temperature, brings it to my table where I sit waiting, flips a napkin on my lap and serves me.
All without me standing over a hot pan cooking as I already did it yesterday.

 

[msmofet]

Fried thin chicken cutlets, buttered corn, and yams (with a pat of butter, and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar).

Ravioli Fantasia

That sounds interesting. What are the ingredients? Can you describe how you make it?

 

[Jade Emperor]

@GotGarlic Sure!
Start with your fresh pasta in two sheets for the ravioli. Then fill with very finely chopped cooked beef and cut the ravioli (I use a stamp).
The sauce is cream based. First you fry off chopped bacon, onion, garlic and mushrooms. Add cream and simmer until thickened. Touch of seasoning, small knob of butter.
Cook your ravioli, add to the sauce and serve. Sprinkle with quality parmigiano and eat!
It’s a bit of work, but delicious

Sounds wonderful. I need to try making pasta one of these days.

Well, you certainly could just use a store-bought beef ravioli. Not sure how it is where you live, but here the prepackaged ravioli is usually “beef and _____” etc. if you can find a simple beef ravioli that would see you through

My husband keeps buying a fresh ravioli that's stuffed with chicken Parmesan lol There's probably a beef one, though. Thanks!
