GRILLED PESTO RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on the grill over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 chopped onion and sauté about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, add 2 sliced garlic cloves and cook 1 minute. Stir in 1 pound refrigerated ravioli and 2 cups water and shimmy the pan to settle the ravioli. Cover the grill and cook, stirring once or twice, until the ravioli are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thin layer, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup pesto; top with basil and Parmesan.

RAVIOLI VEGETABLE "LASAGNA"

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil for ravioli.
• While water comes to a boil, drain defrosted frozen chopped spinach by wringing it dry in a kitchen towel, working over a garbage bowl or your sink. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons or 2 turns of the pan, and the garlic. Saute garlic in oil 1 minute, then sprinkle spinach into the garlic oil. Add artichoke heart pieces to the pan and turn to combine and heat through. Season vegetables with and remove from heat to a bowl. Place skillet back on the heat and melt butter. Whisk flour into butter and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk stock into flour and butter and let it bubble. Whisk in cream and Parmesan. Season sauce with nutmeg, salt and pepper and thicken 1 to 2 minutes.
• Preheat broiler to high. Set rack between middle of oven groove and top rack groove, about 8 inches from heat.
• When water boils, salt water, add ravioli and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Ravioli should be less than al dente, still a bit chewy -- it will continue cooking when combined with sauce and vegetables. Place a colander over ravioli as it cooks and add asparagus to it. Cut thin, trimmed asparagus into 2-inch pieces on an angle. Steam the chopped asparagus while pasta cooks, 2 to 3 minutes, until just fork-tender, but still green. Remove asparagus and add to bowl with spinach and artichokes. Place colander in your sink and drain ravioli.
• Drizzle a touch of extra virgin olive oil onto the bottom of a medium flameproof oval casserole or a flameproof rectangular baking dish and brush pan to coat evenly. Arrange a layer using 1/2 of cooked ravioli in the dish. Layer 1/2 of the cooked vegetables over the ravioli. Next, add a few ladles of sauce, then vegetables, then top casserole with the last of the ravioli. Dot top of "lasagna" with any remaining sauce and cover liberally with gratedprovolone or 4 cheese blend. Brown cheese 8 inches from broiler, 5 minutes.

RAVIOLI WITH PESTO AND ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. (I cooked our veggies in our toaster oven, first on slow bake, heating them only from the bottom, and then on bake, heating them from the top and bottom, for the last 10 minutes or so. If you don't have this setting on your appliance, you may want to cover them with foil for the first 10 minutes.).
• Cut the carrots, tomatoes, pepper and onion. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread the veggies evenly. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and sprinkle with a dash of salt and a dash of pepper.
• Cook the veggies for 10 minutes.
• Whisk the olive oil, water and pesto mixture together in a small saucepan. Heat on medium-high heat and whisk frequently until the pesto begins to boil.
• Put a pot on for the ravioli.
• Has it been 10 minutes yet? Flip the veggies and set the timer for another 10 minutes.
• When the pesto mixture comes to a boil, turn it down and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking often.
• When the water is ready for the ravioli, throw it in the pot. The pesto mixture will begin to thicken as the ravioli cooks.
• After 20-25 minutes total, your veggies, pesto and ravioli should be ready. Drain the ravioli and throw all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Serve with Parmesan, if desired.
