Ravioli With Sage-Walnut Butter
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 9-ounce packages refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup fresh sage leaves
- 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Combine the vinegar, honey and bay leaf in a small saucepan and boil over medium-high heat until syrupy, 4 to 5 minutes. Cover to keep warm.
- Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the sage and walnuts and cook until the nuts are toasted about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to high, ladle in about 1 cup of cooking water and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by about half, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Drain the ravioli, reserving another 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Add the ravioli to the skillet and toss to coat, adding the reserved water as needed. Remove from the heat, toss with the parmesan and season with salt. Divide the ravioli among plates and drizzle with the balsamic syrup.
Quick Dinner Idea: 5-Minute Tacos
https://www.acouplecooks.com/quick-dinner-idea-5-minute-tacos/
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/2 tablespoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 taco sized tortillas or 8 mini tortillas
- Purchased salsa Fresca or pico de gallo
- 1 handful thinly sliced red onion
- Torn cilantro leaves
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs. Add the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and kosher salt, and whisk until combined.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the eggs and cook over medium-low heat, scraping as the eggs solidify about 3 to 4 minutes total. As you scrape, they’ll start to form together into a meat-like texture. Don’t scrape too much or you’ll make too small of pieces: just enough for that, it comes together!
- If time, warm and char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. (See How to Warm Tortillas.)
- Top with salsa Fresca (drain the extra liquid before serving), thin sliced red onions, torn cilantro leaves, and hot sauce.
