We’re in the final stretch of the school year and have just started tee-ball. Let’s face it, we’re also in the final stretch of winter here in Maine. Spring keeps teasing us, but I keep reaching for that coat every time I go out. So, we’re busy , I’m tired of cooking, and I’m tired of fighting over what we’re having for dinner. My daughter has entered the phase where only macaroni and cheese, pizza, or shrimp and sweet potato are the winners. So, something like this super easy dish is perfect. It’s really quick since you use frozen ravioli. While the water boils you can do your prep work and then while the ravioli is cooking you can make the sauce. I feel like I’m eating something fresh and more sophisticated than a red sauce and my daughter can eat her ravioli plain if the mood suites here. It’s a winner all around!

Hi Maeghan! This looks delicious! Only change I would make is to brown the butter – I love brown butter sauce – with pasta and especially with fish! I remember t-ball with my son – he didn’t think he could play because he had asthma and I told him he could play and if he wasn’t up to it, he could sit on the bench and cheer his teammates on. By the time he was eight he had out grown the asthma – I attribute that to the fact that I let him play in the dirt and we always had animals – built up his immune system the old fashioned way! Worked for him and me!

Dorothy, I love brown butter as well, but I think the nuttiness of it would be too overpowering of the lemon and basil

Glad your son outgrew his asthma, it’s such a difficult thing to battle
