Easy dinner...

Since our Valentine's dinner with the lobster ravioli was such a success, I repeated it with two other items also from Costco...

We'd never tried the Roasted Chicken and Mozzarella ravioli or that jarred pesto sauce before (OMG, pasta sauce for days)...

Boil up the pasta. Heat up the sauce. Spoon it on top, or if you want, plate the ravioli on top of the sauce. Whatever you want. Serve with salad and another small side if you wish. Instant dinner. Well, not instant like snap your fingers and it's done, but with minimal effort (boiling water, draining the pasta and heating up the sauce in a small saucepan), it's pretty simple.

The pasta was a hit with both TC and Bert. TC liked it better with the leftover tomato based Vodka cream sauce so she had that instead of the pesto. The pesto had a lot of flavor going on (garlic! basil!) but I didn't really like how oily it was. We liked the shape of the ravioli and the filling was quite tasty. Lots of chicken in there - substantial pieces, not ground up chicken.

Since we have a lot of leftover sauce, I plan to get more ravioli at good ole' Costco this weekend! More of both - the ravioli and the chicken!
