A FOOD LOVER'S SURVIVAL

Home late, so what's for dinner????

I got home at about 9 after a great work meeting and couldn't decide if I should be content with a glass of wine for dinner or actually make something.....

After sipping on my liquid appetizer (wine) I decided that I could have a yummy meal in 15 minutes with what I had in the house. I opened the fridge and this is what I saw:

Raviolis (packaged)
Half and Half (cant have my morning coffee with out it)
Green Onion
Bacon crumbles (extra from an app I made the other night)
Shredded asiago
Chopped garlic

So I started the half and half immediately, takes time to cook down. Then started the water for the pasta. In a separate pan I sauteed the garlic, chopped green onion and bacon in olive oil then added to the cream. After the cream cooked for about ten minutes I added the asiago to thicken and add that yummy cheese flavor. The pasta only took 3 minutes. Drained the pasta then added it to the sauce. Seasoned it with sea salt and pepper and voila!

It was so good. And now I'm beginning to realize that some of my best meals are the ones I pull out of the fringe and pantry.

I guess my point is you can have a great meal no matter how late you get home and what you have in the kitchen.

So challenge yourself to creating a great meal with what cha got and tell us about it!
