We got some Mushroom and Italian sausage Rana ravioli. We served two of each with a little cream sauce and pepper. It was quite nice but not great. My wife did not finish hers and declared it far inferior to her pastas. She’s right, of course. This means that I have to eat the rest on my own. But, you are right, it does work quite well on its own as breakfast or a midnight snack.

Rana makes a pesto that is by far the best packaged pesto I’ve ever had, and it complements their ravioli well.

GRA et al: I actually think he looks more like a slightly-older Larry David. But then again, Larry David does a better impersonation of Bernie Sanders than Bernie Sanders does.

Sharon W,

Well why not? The real Roman version of carbonara is basically pasta (grain/carbs), eggs (never cream!), guanciale (pork jowl) or pancetta (Italian bacon) and lots of delicious pecorino Romano cheese.

So given the choice between a similar lineup of grain, egg, Canadian bacon and American cheese in say, an Egg McMuffin, I know which one I would choose. 🙂

Buon appetito!

For all those posting about pasta being an inappropriate breakfast food, my husband has been making his version of Spaghetti Carbonara for years. He made it a number of years for the Mother-Son Mass at our sons’ school (more than 100 people) and it was always a big hit. Also, our daughter’s mother-in-law is a renowned chef (AIFW and Les Dames Escoffier) and when we visit, he has made this dish for breakfast for her and the foodies in her circle a number of times the day following a big event. They love it.

I bet you’ve never had this ravioli.”

Nope. But if I ever do it will be with some sauce for dinner or lunch, and probably some freshly grated parmesan. Breakfast is fried ham and egg.

On my way home from Mass this morning, I stopped in the market near my house. There was a end of the aisle display with these ravioli. Bought it on sale and will try it with my husband’s home-made roasted tomato sauce tonight. If you didn’t post this, I never would have tried it. I will let you know what I think.

Ah, it looks like it is available at Walmarts in San Antonio. Will check it out. We did get some pretty good ravioli at Costco, too. Good with just a little melted butter, pepper and sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
