Recipe of the Week – Fresh Ginger Sauce
(From the Misc Category at www.emealsforyou.com)
Ravioli in Fresh Ginger Sauce
Trying to come up with something different for lunch reminded me that ravioli are not just for tomato sauce. It was time to put together a meal that was unexpected. I wanted something that was substantial yet easy to prepare. I remembered I had a some fresh ginger and decided to make the Fresh Ginger Sauce and serve it over some ravioli. Checking on the other ingredients on hand it was a go.
We serve pasta with many meals and ravioli is one of the easiest as it freezes well and is fairly inexpensive. Simply take a handful or a bag out of the freezer, heat it in boiling water for a few minutes and plate with any number of sauces or toppings. Add some sliced mushrooms or fresh spinach at the last minute to enhance the meal. Your family will think they are at an expensive restaurant, your budget will like you and the smiles you receive will brighten your day.
