I have a friend, Dianne, who I have known for a good 29 years, and she is one of the best gourmet cooks I know. Whenever I have a cooking question or am in need of an idea of how to prepare something I just give her a call.
Tonight I wanted to do something simple, but tasty. I purchased some lobster ravioli at Costco, and had no clue what I was going to do with it. As I strolled through our favorite Warehouse grocer, I went through the contents of my pantry, freezer and refrigerator in my mind. Parmesan cheese, butter, olive oil, scallions, Chardonnay, pine nuts, lemon, fresh thyme, and, OH, I can use the Langostino!
Not sure how to go about making this dish, I give my buddy Dianne a call, who unfortunately lives in Ohio. Why a person would move from this Golden State, that has EVERYTHING except WINTER, is beyond me. Anyway, Di answered her phone. I told her what I was considering and she told me ways of creating a mild flavor that will only enhance my Costco bought raviolis. It was delicious!!!!!!
Put raviolis in a pot of boiling water that had salt and olive oil in it.
When the raviolis were almost done, I added the Langostino to the water.
I drained the ravioli/ langostino and put it in a pasta bowl.
Next, I sprinkled some olive oil over the pasta, and shaved a tablespoon or 2 of butter over it, added
sliced scallions, Parmesan cheese, a small hand full of pine nuts, squeeze of 1/2 lemon and a sprinkling of
Chardonnay, the family LOVED it!
Thank you again Dianne!
