Adventures In Cooking

Remember Adventures In Cooking? No? I don't see why not...we were going to do it every week and only did it once...that's no excuse for you to not remember! haha :) This time we did Beef & Three Cheese Ravioli with Roasted Tomato & Garlic Sauce! This was the best ravioli I have ever eaten!!

Roasted Tomato & Garlic Sauce

2 pints grape tomatoes
10 cloves garlic
2T olive oil
salt & pepper, to taste
1T Italian Seasoning
1T Oregano

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Crack the garlic cloves but do not remove the skins. Put the tomatoes and garlic on a cookie sheet, coat with oil and season with salt & pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes...watch the garlic...mine got crispy...oops! When the garlic is soft, mash it up and some of the water your pasta is cooking in. Add the tomatoes and seasonings and mash everything until blended well. The thickness of your sauce will depend on how much water you add. This sauce is sooo easy and sooo delicious.

Beef & Three Cheese Ravioli

1 pkg wanton wrappers
1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1c freshly grated parmesan cheese
3/4c grated mozzarella cheese
1c low-fat cottage cheese
1T Italian Seasoning
1T Oregano
salt & pepper, to taste

Cook the beef over medium heat until almost browned. Add the onion and cook until tender. Mix with the remaining ingredients and fill each wanton wrapper with 1 tsp filling. Put the filling in the center and using your finger, wet the border with water and fold over, sealing it with your fingers. Drop the ravioli in salted boiling water for about 4 minutes.
