CALLING ALL MAMAS!!! Having trouble getting your kids to eat vegetables? Well, here is a sneaky way to get those vegetables into their systems. I don't know very many kids that don't like spaghetti with sauce and parmesan. I love this recipe because it doesn't require a lot of effort to make something kid friendly.
You can really use this pasta recipe to make any kind of ravioli you'd like, but this was my version. It's stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, shallots, spinach, and Portebella mushrooms.
Since my trip to Italy in college, I've seemed to hold a spot in my heart for some good gnocchi. Gnocchi is basically a potato dumpling that is a really versatile ingredient to cook with. Not only is it super easy and fun to make, it also freezes very well. I like to make a big batch and freeze the rest to use in other dishes. You can toss them with any kind of sauce, bake them, saute' them, put them in soup, etc. You can also make them any flavor you would like by tossing in some herbs or cheese.
