Ive been trying to come up with dishes that my 2 year old son would like. Kids usually like ravioli, so I decided to give it a try. Lately he has become a very picky eater so I have to get even more creative, as most parents do. My supermarket has a huge variety of freshly made pastas, so I got a package of fresh ravioli. As a side dish I had leftover random vegetables that came together into a wonderful side dish along the classic chicken loaf, this was a suprisingly delicious meal. Oh and Leo took a few bites, but mostly played with his food, oh well.....
Ravioli
1 package fresh Ravioli
1 cup marinara sauce
2 cloves crushed garlic
grated paresan cheese
Vegetables
1 cup chopped vegetables, I had the following, but any combination of vegetables can be used.
1/2 red pepper
1/2 green pepper
1/2 zuccini
1 cup chopped kale
1 shallot
white wine vingeral
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon
1 tablespoon fig jam ( this adds the sweet layer of flavor that is needed, another jam can probably be substututed)
directions:
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil, add all vegetables except kale, cook until soft, about 5 minutes, add kale and continue cooking for 3 minutes. Add vinegar, lemon and jam, salt and pepper to taste, mix everything together, cook for another minute. These vegetables almost have a pickled flavor, I loved them so much I used leftovers the next day in a turkey wrap. Yum.....
