Spinach Ravioli

    This is a simple dish that tastes as amazing as it looks.  Both the ravioli and sauce are store bought, but that is the life of a college kid: not a lot of extra time.  You can make both of these though they tend to be time-consuming; it works for a weekend project that you make in bulk then freeze for easy meals during the week.  I did purchase the spinach at the Farmer's Market here, any spinach will work; I liked the larger leaves for this dish, though they are a little bitter compared to baby spinach.  So, to make this dish you will need:

• 1 Bag Ravioli (Flavor of your choice-I just used regular)
• 3 Cups Spinach
• 1/3 Cup Cooking Wine (marsala or sherry)
• 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
• 2 Cloves Garlic 
• 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1 Jar Sauce

    Start out by putting the sauce in a pan on low-medium heat and bring a pot of water to boil for the ravioli.  Then wash the spinach and mince the garlic.  Brown the garlic slightly in a sauté pan with the olive oil (medium heat) then add the cooking wine and spinach to the sauté pan, salt and pepper to taste.  Let cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then take off heat.  Spoon the ravioli into a bowl with about two tbsp of the pasta water (the ravioli is done once it starts to float), then add in the sauce and spinach.  Top with the graded parmesan and serve.
