Notes: Had this tonight, and it was pretty good. However, I halved the ravioli and the meat and left the veggie amounts as listed (it’s just two of us after all) which according to my crosstrainer brought the calories down to about 200 for a hearty serving (about a third of the pan).
Malcolm would have liked to have some tomato sauce in it to make it more spaghetti-y, but I thought it was tasty as is. I served it with “caesar” salad made with fat free dressing, fat free croutons and a sprinkle of parmesan, and some warmed breadsticks. Good stuff. I’ll make it again
