a MUST try


I'm not very good at photographing/staging food but trust me, this picture doesn't do this EASY recipe justice. I got the Southern Living Holiday Cookbook and most of my menu this week is from that book. But THIS particular recipe was wonderful and verrrry easy to prepare!

Ravioli in Basil-Cream Sauce

1 (24-oz.) package frozen ravioli (cheese, beef, or mushroom)
2 Tbsp. butter
1 (8-oz.) package sliced fresh mushrooms
3 green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
1 (10-oz.) can diced mild tomatoes and green chiles, drained
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt

Prepare ravioli in a large Dutch oven according to package directions; drain and keep warm in separate dish.

Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and next 3 three ingredients; saute 6 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and green chiles, basil, and cream; bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, and simmer (uncovered), stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in cheese, salt and ravioli, tossing to coat.
