CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH VEGETARIAN " MEAT" SAUCE
I often use vegetarian crumbles as a replacement for recipes that call for ground beef. This is my attempt to mimic the meat sauce my mother's mother would make for her lasagna and ziti. This tomato sauce is really easy to put together, and can be used with ANY pasta. (I just happen to have a weakness for cheese ravioli!)

Steps:
- Cook ravioli in boiling salted water for 6-7 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat olive oil over medium heat, and sauté onions and garlic and crushed red pepper until soft, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add basil, oregano, and meatless crumbles and sauté another 5-6 minutes more. The crumbles should be thawed, and get a little color on them as they mix with the garlic and onions.
- If the pan seems to get dry, add 1/4 cup of water so the crumbles don't stick.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Finally, add the jar of tomato sauce and mix together.
- Cover with a lid, and let simmer on low for another 10 minutes.
- Toss sauce with cooked ravioli, and serve with grated cheese.

VEGETARIAN/ VEGAN SWEET POTATO AND SPINACH RAVIOLI
I made this one night for dinner as my daughter loves Italian. So far I had just tried pasta and wanted to give her more at home Italian options and also have some veggies included. This was a great find for me:-) I used sweet potatoes and spinach instead of the standard cream cheese stuffing and it was awesome:-) So let your imagination run wild and make your own stuffings.

Steps:
- Boil, peel and mash the sweet potatoes with the spinach. Add the basil, garlic and salt. Add the flax seed or the bread crumbs to make a good ballable stuffing!
- If you are using the garlic salt like me do away with the fresh garlic and salt.
- Mix the salt and flour and make a ball of dough by adding water. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
- Take a lemon sized dough, ball it up and roll out a circle using a rolling pin. Cut them into 3 strips. Place a tablespoon of stuffing in the center of a strip, fold and seal with a fork. Remove excess dough. This should give you moon shaped raviolis. Make as much ravioli as needed in whatever shape you need. Just ensured they are firm and sealed tight.
- In a soup pan boil water till it bubbles and drop the raviolis a couple at a time and take care not to break them. When the pieces start floating and sticky to touch its done. Ladle it carefully out on the plate.
- Pour some butter sauce on top and serve. Its a delight at home!

Steps:
- To make sauce put all the ingredients listed for sauce in a large skillet over a simmer on the stove.
- To make ravioli dough mix all ingredients except water in a food processor until it looks fluffed,crumbly and coarse like cornmeal.
- Now with food processor running add the water slowly until mixed.
- Take out and form into 2 balls.
- Roll out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
- I couldn't do that to well so I picked it up and stretched it out a bit that works to!
- Cut into 3 inch wide strips and then into 3 inch wide squares.
- Put filling from sauce in the center of the square and then put another ravioli dough over that and pinch ends together tightly to seal.
- It is ok if a little filling comes out--it will go away during the boiling process.
- If you want to eat fresh put in boiling water for 3-4 minutes.
- They fall to bottom of pan and when done will float up and rise to the top.
- Take out with a slotted spoon.
- Serve with sauce over it.
- If you want to freeze these you may freeze them on a cookie sheet until firm and then put in a plastic bag in freezer up to 3 months.
- Cooking is the same for frozen ravioli in boiling water but will take 9-10 minutes to cook.
