Here is a quick, easy, veggie enhanced choice for a week night meal (or a weekend lunch). This is so easy to prepare. At the same time, it is super cheap and free of all those nasty tasting, non-nutritious preservatives. Deacan has a very hard time with "Chef" Boyardee-- but will eat it if that is the only source available. Try and taste this and you will never go back!!
3 steps-- easy peasy!!
1st step: Buy frozen cheese ravioli and boil them for about 3 minutes... Aldi sells an excellent product for about $3/ 8 serving bag. After boiling, strain, and toss with a bit of olive oil..
Above photo, in the same pan, mix up a jar of pasta sauce (your choice).. We love Aldi's Mushroom Pasta Sauce-- but roll with what you like. I also added a can of stewed tomatoes to this batch. You could even branch out and do an alfredo or pesto!
I like to get a bit fancy and add 2 tablespoons of mince garlic (for our immune systems/ Deacan's lack of adequate hand-washing). I also throw in a handful of basil. Salt and pepper to taste. Really- the world is your oyster here. Whatever spices and sauces you like-- wonderful! Just make sure they are complementary. We can't have Judy Bloom with James Patterson. Right?
Fresh basil, minced garlic, store-bought tomato sauce= 3 minutes to a culinary YUM!! :) It all melts down to a beautiful medley also known as tomato sauce.. Now spoon onto those raviolis and you have an awesome meal in less than 15 minutes flat! Sweet!! Or shall I say "A'More!" :)

This makes me miss Aldi so much! Isn't that also an Aldi evoo bottle? I used to always have one of those on my counter. If they put one out here, people would go nuts probably having to take a number to get in.
