Easy Dinner: Chicken Sausage with Tomato, basil and mozzarella ravioli

I didn't really put much thought into this, everything was pre-packaged, but sometimes that's easier! Jeremy loves sausage, and I am not really a huge fan, but when I saw Chicken Sausage, I figured I'd give it a try.

Ingredients:

• 1 package of Al Fresco Chicken Sausage
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 package Monterrey Ravioli (Tomato, Basil, Mozarella)
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 Jar Tomato Sauce
• Caesar Salad
• Garlic bread

Steps:

• Follow the directions on the packages!
• I put the sausage on a skillet, medium heat, with a tbsp olive oil for about 8-10 minutes until the sides were golden brown

• For the ravioli, I boiled water in a large pot, but barely boiling the water, I added in the ravioli for 5 minutes, drained, and topped with tomato sauce.

The food was delicious, I definitely recommend trying the chicken sausage. And dinner took me about 15 minutes to prepare and cook.

Oven Fried Pizza Puffs

After making the "Oven Fried Chimichangas" & dating a boy who grew up in Chicago, Jeremy requested I make a rendition of the "Pizza puff"..... I don't have a deep fryer, so we tried to "oven fried" method again. This is my first recipe I've really just made up...so bear with me!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups cooked/chopped sausage
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2/3 marinara or spaghetti sauce (we used a Tomato/Basil sauce)
• 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped vidalia onion
• 1/4 pepperoni (I cut them in half)
• 5 burrito sized flour tortillas
• Olive oil or cooking spray

• Preheat oven to 400
• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray or rub some olive oil on the foil
• Mix together the sausage, cheese, sauce, onion, pepper, pepperoni, and italian seasoning
• Put spoonfuls inside the tortilla's and fold closed so all sides are closed
• Place the tortillas on the cookie sheet and either spray with cooking spray or rub with olive oil
• Place in oven for 25 minutes

This may not look all that appetizing, considering I took it when I was almost done eating, but I wanted you to be able to see the inside of the puff!


Enjoy! We did!
