Today’s recipe was a guest post I did for Jenny over at The NY Melrose Family. A few of us were lucky enough to guest post for her right after she had her daughter. I wanted something easy to whip up, like easy enough Jenny’s husband could throw it together while she naps before dinner. *hint, hint*
I saw the original recipe for this dish in Food Network Magazine. It looked super easy to whip up, and a great way to get some veggies into my family’s faces. Since I’m anti-mushroom I added asparagus instead, and switched out the raw tomatoes for sun-dried. But chicken and cheese ravioli are almost always a win around here so the boys all thought I did good. Yay for easy dinners on a week night!

Yay! I love a man that cooks. It’s so nice to be treated to a home cooked meal you did have anything to do with. 🙂
Oh, what a great idea for a ravioli recipe! I’m all about easy meals, and I love pasta, {what can I say, it’s the carb addict in me}, so this is perfect!
