Dear Bloggers,Good evening! How has your day been? Mine has been quite marvelous, thank you. I watched a reasonable amount of Food Network today and yes, that included At Home with Giada De Laurentiis. I also was able to purchase an exceptional amount of items for my new apartment, including major furniture items, which honestly, made me feel so much better from Ikea. I found a beautiful dining room table and some miniature chairs (they're not the nicest, but they certainly provide a place to sit). Let's get down to business though and discuss the Ravioli Arrabiati Con Polpette Al Sugo. Yes, I just said angry ravioli with meatballs and marinara sauce. I began by making my meatballs with ground beef, 1 egg, bread crumbs, parsley, basil, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, onion, and parmigiano reggiano. I popped them into a 1/4 inch olive oil pan and cooked them until perfectly done. In a pot on the side, I poured in a simple basil and tomato sauce and dropped the meatballs into the sauce once they were cooked. Separately, I boiled salted water in a pot and let the ravioli cook until perfectly tender. With the remainder of olive oil from the meatballs, I combined paprika, red chili flakes, fresh garlic, basil, and chili powder. Once the mixture had heated up, I added the ravioli, allowing a slight amount of the ravioli water to enter the oil mixture. I cooked the ravioli until perfectly golden. I plated the ravioli with two meatballs on the side and some tomato sauce. Super easy and one of the most amazing dishes I have ever made. I promise. After seeing Giada make something similar to mine (she used 2 sticks of butter, which I simply could not bring myself to do), I think mine couldn't even compare to hers. On the other hand, this dish was absolutely astounding and is still lingering on my tongue. As for you, give this a try and in the meantime, stay healthy and happy cooking!
