Ravioli with tomato sauce

A friend left behind 2 packets of frozen Ravioli so I got her blessing instead.  

Let's have Ravioli with tomato sauce.


Learning: The frozen ravioli took longer than expected to soften.  So please adjust timing.

Son did not like the tomato base sauce so for the next pack, I will do cream based.  Hub and I finds it yummy though.

What you need:

500g frozen ravioli
2 cans of tomatoes
1 onion, diced
2 tbsp minced garlic
Basil leaves, chopped finely
½ tsp oregano
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup whipping cream
Season with salt and pepper
Olive oil

Lots of spinach

Method:

Blitz the can tomatoes.  

In a pot, add olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant.

Add in the tomatoes, chicken broth and season with basil, oregano, salt and pepper.

Add in ravioli and bring to a boil and let it simmer for 15 mins.

Add whipping cream and spinach. Mix well until spinach is cooked.

Garnish with parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!

Easy black pepper beef

Before covid, we loved this pub that served this soy beef cube.  Though we missed it, the pub is no longer around.

Attempted Easy Black Pepper Beef instead and am glad it turned out well.



What you need:

2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp black pepper
500g beef cube

Method:

Combine soy sauce, oyster sauce and black pepper to the beef.  Mix well with it and let it chill overnight.

Preheat the pan and add a little oil.  

Cook until brown on each side.

Enjoy!
