What's for dinner ( or lunch )

"Chicken Herb Ravioli with Pesto and Pine Nuts" is what I had for Dinner last night. Not my usual but this is a dish my grown children tell me they miss from childhood. I used to add black olives and artichokes but those add too much salt with the pesto (which is salty).

I used a small vintage airline dish that the airlines don't use anymore. I bought a set on Ebay. They're the perfect size for portion control. I had a tiny portion of Pinot with it which is not my favorite but I read it's the healthiest wine because it has fewer tannins. I prefer Cabernet but only have it with Italian food and Pasta.

The Kirkland Pesto is from Costco in a big jar but unused portions can be stored in freezer. It's the only pesto I've found that is close to homemade but it's salty...so I didn't salt the pasta water when cooking.

Chicken Ravioli is almost impossible to find for some reason but I finally spotted this "Good & Gather" brand of Chicken Ravioli at Target (of all places) and is a healthy brand but not organic.

Don't take your eyes off the Pine Nuts and move them around when roasting in a pan. They're expensive and burn quickly.
