Feeding kids can be frustrating or fun, depending on how you look at it. I probably hit a homerun for every 10 at bats, and this was one of them, toasty ravioli with dipping sauce. Finger foods and dipping sauces are very big with my kids. No difficult utensils to worry with, just clean hands and napkins.
There is no recipe to this, it's just a technique for making an everyday dish - ravioli with tomato sauce - into something extra special. I used fresh ravioli and cooked them in boiling water according to the package directions. I placed the cooked ravioli on a baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels. In a skillet over medium heat, I melted a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of olive oil and then fried the ravioli until crisp, about five minutes on each side.
Serve the pasta with small bowls of tomato sauce - I had jarred sauce on hand, but I frequently make tomato sauce from a can of good-quality crushed tomatoes, some minced fresh garlic, salt and pepper and olive oil.
That's it - easy dinner, happy kids. One extra pot to clean, not a big deal.

N. Thanks for reading! Let me know how fast the ravioli is devoured.
I'm home alone with my boys tonight and needed something interesting to cook for dinner. I remembered reading this a while back, so I looked it up and made it. Yum!! We all enjoyed it.
