I bought one package of cheese tortellini and two packages of beef/spinach ravioli out of the freezer at Whole Foods. I also bought a package of organic arugula and a tub of shredded cheese (three cheese blend).
This is so simple, I'm almost embarrassed to post about it, but I got such good comments about the dinner from my husband and kids, I have to!!!
Bring water to a boil. Dump the pasta in the water. I did not time it, but the time is on the package.
While the pasta was boiling, I rinsed the arugula and used my lettuce spinner to get some of the water off. In the bottom of a salad bowl I poured some olive oil, the juice of a whole lemon, some maple syrup, and some roasted garlic from a jar and mixed with my wooden salad spoon (I have a wooden salad spoon/fork set for serving). I dumped the arugula in the mixture and tossed.
I scooped out a piece of tortellini and ate it to see if it was done, and it was, so I drained the pasta. I dumped it into a bowl, then poured olive oil over it. I added dried oregano and tossed.
I topped the pasta with shredded cheese when I served it. You would have thought it was a gourmet meal I spent the afternoon on!!! My family thought it was very tasty and elegant!!
