Basil Ravioli with Creamy Basil Sauce

You can never have too much basil, but you can have too much citrus.

Last night I had Bertagni's Basil Ravioli with Grilled Vegetables, topped with Cucina Fresca's Basil Cream Sauce, both from Whole Foods. The ravioli was big and soft, but really didn't have a ton of flavor. I wish I could say it was saved by the sauce, but I actually didn't like the sauce, it was way too citrusy. What's strange is that I don't see anything in the ingredients that would make it so citrusy. It might work as a nice summer meal for some people, but hot citrus foods just don't please my palate.

Spinach and Cheese Ravioli With Alfredo Sauce

I just had an evening in with Monterey Pasta Company's spinach and cheese ravioli (available at QFC for around $5) topped with Cucina Fresca's alfredo sauce (available at Whole Foods, also a little over $5). It was totally delicious! I was at least my third time having the alfredo sauce, which may not be healthy but it always a great addition to any pasta. The ravioli wasn't out of this world, but it was very good and well worth the money.
