I made this pasta 🍝dinner in 6 minutes in my Instant Pot. Creamy Parma Rosa Ravioli. Here is what you need to make it:⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 1 25 oz package of frozen ravioli, I used the cheese one from @aldiusa ⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 1 14.5 Ounce Can of Diced Tomatoes⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 3T of Butter⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 14.5 Ounces of Milk ⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 1 Envelope of @knorr Parma Rosa Sauce Mix. Found in the grocery 🛒aisle with the powdered gravy. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
• Dried Parsley & Good Quality Parmesan for garnish.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✔️Whisk the Parma Rosa packet with the milk and tomatoes. Add all the ingredients to the Instant Pot except for the Parmesan and Parsley. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✔️Make sure the ravioli are covered in the tomato, tomato juices and milk. Cover, use the manual setting, set to high, and set the timer to 6 minutes. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✔️When the timer goes off, do a quick release. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✔️When it’s done, let it sit for ten minutes for the sauce to thicken. This dish doesn’t yield a super thick sauce, it is normal for it to be more like a broth. Top with the Fresh Parmesan and Parsley. Serve with some crusty bread to soak up that good sauce. ⁣
⁣
*I have an older mode Instant Pot so I don’t get the burn notice on mine, one or two people have told me they did which is why I say don’t stir ⁣⁣⁣⁣

Yes you can make this on the stove by just making the sauce separately and boiling the ravioli

If you follow my stories you may remember that I g If you follow my stories you may remember that I got a VERY special delivery from @verocoffeegelato . They dropped off their gelatos and coffee for me to try. Unfortunately I was still recovering from being sick and had NO taste or smell so I saved my sampling until my taste came back. Well it’s BACK BABY and what a way to celebrate! Holy smokes this stuff is good. Vero is a family owned and operated small business from the Chicagoland area. For the last 50 years they have been making Italian specialties including this Chicago Pothole Gelato which is award winning. It’s got candied pecans, marshmallow and Chocolate chunks. I also love this pistachio! Check out their IG for where you can buy and also for online ordering information! 

Thank you for this delicious treat, it was definitely worth the wait!

Easy Italian Wedding Soup To make the meatballs: Easy Italian Wedding Soup

To make the meatballs:

✔️1lb each of ground beef and ground pork
✔️1 cup each of seasoned bread crumbs and powder type Parmesan
✔️1/2 c finely diced onion
✔️2 eggs
✔️salt, pepper, Italian seasoning 

• mix all the ingredients, make sure they are combined but don’t over mix
• form into small, one inch balls, set on a cookie sheet and let them rest on the counter for 30 minutes

For the soup:

✔️dice 2 cups each of celery, onion and carrots, sauté in some olive oil in a soup pot (I also use some celery leaves) I add 4 to 6 cloves of garlic
✔️season veggies with some salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, sauté until soft 
✔️I use chicken bouillon so i add two to three tablespoons plus about 16 cups of water, you can also use 4, 32ounce cartons of brorth, add to veggies and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes
✔️after the veggies have simmered for 30, add the meatballs and simmer again for 30
✔️add one bag of frozen mini potato dumplings and simmer 10 minutes, I prefer the dumplings over pasta for this soup because they don’t suck up all the broth. 
✔️add in as many handfuls of fresh spinach as you wish 

This soup makes great leftovers also. You can see the step by step in a story highlight called Italian wedding. This is in my profile.

All I can think about are Brussels Sprouts lately. All I can think about are Brussels Sprouts lately. I only love them the way I make them. Here’s how:

✔️on a cookie sheet place 4 to 6 slices of bacon
✔️trim and quarter as many Brussels as you like and add them to a bowl, toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper and chili powder, toss really well to coat
✔️spread them on the cookie sheet with the bacon then sprinkle all of them with brown sugar
✔️bake at 375° for about 15 to 20 minutes, or as crispy as you like them
✔️take them out of the oven and I use kitchen shears to chop up the bacon and then toss it all together 

I could seriously eat just this for a meal! Try it and see!
