Hmmmm...it's Friday and the troops are hungry, but I've simply been too busy to worry about that...
...that is until the rumbling bellies distracted me from other matters!
I need a quick solution and have three ingredients:
- Frozen ravioli - generic from Walmart
- Pasta sauce - large from Sam's
- Parmesan cheese - yep, the green shaker type - the hard block for grating is waiting for a more glamorous meal.
This is going to be quick and simple:
Pour enough sauce to cover the bottom of an 8 x 13 pan.
Layer in the ravioli and pour on remaining sauce.
Evenly sprinkle any spices you usually use to 'enhance' jar sauce. (OK, I know that's more than three items but I'm not counting optional ingredients.) No need to mix...I said it was simple!
I used:
- Pepper
- Minced garlic (Tones)
- Italian Spices (Tones)
- A bit of brown sugar (it reduces acidity from the tomatoes)
A quick taste, to make sure it's 'top chef' fixin's. Cover with aluminum foil and it's off to a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. And me, I'll just lay down on the living room floor for a quick nap with Molly the Frog!
I'll let you know how it turned out...but if it's like last time, it was DELICIOUS!
Love the pictures of your daughter helping!! Too cute :) I too have had the last minute meatless Friday panic! This year I decided to compile some recipes to avoid the panic.
