So many kids only want to eat mac and cheese right from the box. We decided to come up with an alternative dish for Jack—one where Mom and Dad are in charge of quality control. Jack always cleans his plate, so we have to be quick if we want to sneak a few pieces for ourselves!
Ingredients
serves 4 kids or 2 adults
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to the package directions. Drain well.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter foam has mostly subsided, add the bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, and salt. Toss, using a spatula to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, for about 2 minutes, or until golden.
Step 3
Add the ravioli to the skillet and cook until the pasta is heated through, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and serve.
