I must say, I'm rather proud of this one. It has a fancy name; it tastes delicious, and it goes extremely well with red wine and garlic bread. I'm even prouder that I learned a new word. Did you know, that agnolotti means priest hats in Italian? However, I must confess, that I had absolutely nothing to do with this one. I did have a plan, mind you. I found an out-of-this-world recipe for Vegetable Lasagna, which I had full intentions of doing tonight. But blow me down, if I'm walking aimlessly around the fruit and vegies section of the supermarket and there's not a piece of pumpkin to be seen! I LOVE pumpkin! I can't possibly have a vegetable lasagna without it. It would be like having a roast dinner with no gravy. It just can't be done.
So when my hard-working husband returned home from work, I readied myself to give him the full story of my good intentions being thwarted by the absence of my favourite vegetable!
"That's great!" he said.
"Oh?" I answered.
"I've got a Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli in the fridge. I'll whip that up instead." (Okay so we didn't exactly make it from scratch, but really, how many people actually do that?)
So it seems I'm let off the hook, and instead of layering vegetables between sheets of pasta, I'm able to open a bottle of wine and eat a scrumptious meal which contains a word I'd never before known!
Aah, this cooking thing isn't too bad after all.
(And yes, the kids loved it!)
