Meatless Meals #2: Ravioli with Tomato, White Beans, and Spinach


Who knew meatless meals could be so amazing?  I love this one.  I'm a huge fan of ravioli, Buitoni especially... and what's not to love about white beans and spinach?
This dish was so easy to make, and almost a one-pot meal (aside from having to cook the ravioli in another pot).  However, in hindsight, I'm thinking that I probably could have cooked them in the pan (had there been a little more liquid)  - kind of like my Spaghetti:  Risotto-Style.  So many variations in my head... different veggies, different liquids and sauces.... yum!  I'm truly enjoying this meatless meal exploration!  What's YOUR favorite meatless dish?

Best dishes and yummy dreams!
