Welcome...Balsalmic Brown Butter Raviolis

Welcome to my recipe blog. I enjoy cooking and love when people give me new recipes so I thought that I would start posting some of the recipes that I try/enjoy. Hopefully someone will make some of these! And if you are really lucky maybe some of my mom's recipes might pop on here.

So my 1st recipe is very simple. I saw it on the food network. Mike likes watching Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis. I know it is mainly b/c she has major cleavage, but her recipes are pretty good actually. We have made this a few times. Hayden enjoys them as much as we do.

Note: I don't use the walnuts that the recipe calls for. I don't like nuts too much. (and I just use regular salted butter too)



Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

* 18 to 20 ounces store-bought ravioli (cheese, mushroom, or squash)
* 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1/3 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the ravioli and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally. Drain ravioli onto a large serving platter.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan cook the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. When the foam subsides, and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 3 minutes, turn off the heat. Let cool for about 1 minute. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Transfer the ravioli to the pan saucepan with the balsamic brown butter. Sprinkle walnuts and Parmesan over the top. Serve immediately.
