Pasta + Cheese + Garlic Bread = Goodness

Even when it comes from a freezer and a jar, it's still good.

I've been wanting to try the Dei Fratelli marinara sauce that That Word Guy gave me a few weeks back, and while looking for something else in the freezer over the weekend I saw some cheese ravioli in there. Then I saw them do Cheesy Garlic Bread on America's Test Kitchen (even though I know I've seen that episode before... I think I was too distracted at the garlic press and finding it online to buy it and I missed that part of the show) and the plan was set. Nice, easy Tuesday night dinner. Oh yeah.

And I managed to not light the sauce on fire or anything tragic tonight.

I cut the butter and cheese in half for the garlic bread recipe, and I still could have cut it more, in my opinion. (And of course it was good even with the extra butter and cheese, but I am trying to cook healthy over here. Really.) I even used a loaf of bread I pulled out of the freezer the last time they had small french loaves on sale, and you couldn't tell at all.

LOVED the pasta sauce. When I was trying to figure out if they carried it at any of my local stores (they do) I realized that they are also my favorite brand of diced, canned tomatoes for the same reason it was suggested I try the sauce.... not overly acidic. More tomato-y than my regular Prego, but no heartburn an hour after dinner. Too bad I have two jars of the Muir Glen sauce in the pantry, and at least three bottles of Prego....

Nice to not totally &#@&@#! up dinner after how I was feeling last night.

Not sure what the plan is for tomorrow. It's the last day for some hamburger I have in the fridge. Might do some burgers, since I have buns left from last night. Can't do anything pasta-ish since I did pasta tonight (yes, the hubbly-bubbly gets that picky sometimes) and did nachos yesterday, so anything Mexican is out. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions.
