Noah and his mommy came for lunch this week.I had fallen prey to these heart shaped pasta raviolis at Costco..What better opportunty to make them!
I like trying to make good raviolis at home..by hand..but their colors lured me in.I have never tinted my ravioli dough..so I thought.."oh just get them":)
I'm glad I did..it felt fun for me too.
I served them with a quick tomato sauce I make at the last minute from one of my idols:Josée DiStasio.
I don't get her TV program..but she has DVDs of her France and Italy trips out.. some cookbooks..and I do catch her on other shows.
Her basic sauce in one of her books is so easy.
Some garlic
a 28 ozs can of diced tomatoes
basil
salt
and some sugar ..which is optional..but I do put it..
I added pasrley too.
It's just right w/ this dish.
I know Valentine's is days away..but anytime I can slip a heart in:) Is a good time.
I cringe though when I see a photo of myself and one of my daughters at that time some 34 yrs ago..in long red skirts I had made us to match with white heart eyelet pockets:) She wasn't even one.. And I was all of 21.
Oh, Monique! This ravioli is just too too cute! I love it. What a sweet lunch you had. I love hearts too. And I'll bet the 34 year old pic is precious and nothing to be cringed at at all.
ReplyDeleteM, I bet Noah just loved these heart shped ravioli..did he try to make them finger food??? Matching outfits..too cute!!
ReplyDeleteDarling, Monique!
ReplyDelete(And the Heart Ravioli are darling, too.) [grin]
Your presentation is perfection! Thank you for the recipe for the sauce, and the recommendation of Josée DiStasio, too. I'll go look. :)
The only thing missing is the picture of you and DD in the matching skirts! How CUTE that must be. xo~m
What cute ravioli ... and your presentation is LOVEly ... the pop of green basil and the splashes of your sauce. ... Perfect.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a sweet lunch with two of your sweeties.
I CAN picture you and your daughter (at one) in matching skirts (made with love).
Oh geez...how perfect is that! Could you have found anything better for Valentine's Day. I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteYou and your daughter in matching skirts. What a wonderful, precious memory.

Those are adorable! I bet the kids loved them..
ReplyDeleteI never saw them at Costco...I must look...there's still time before Heart day..:)
Just precious! The kids (old and young) must have loved them. I don't think I could have resisted them had I seen them either. Nice post Monique.
ReplyDeleteI say the more hearts we give our family, the better ;) I can just see the two of you in those skirts!
ReplyDeleteYour ravioli looks delighfully tasty. I remember you shared her recipe for minestrone with me - it was wonderful.
Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a heart I didn't love :-) February is my favorite month, everything is hearts. Thank you for adding another heart to my collection.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely ravioli! Loving this valentine's occasion.
ReplyDeleteThose heart ravioli are really cute! I haven't seen anything like them around here. The sauce sounds simple to make so I'll have to remember that.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a tease...telling us about the photo but not showing it :-) I bet you are both beautiful!
