Oh, and the title? Do not run off screaming thinking you have to make your own ravioli. Seriously, please do not do this. I promise, if you do not want to, you do not have to make the ravioli yourself. There, I said it. I will be the first person to admit that homemade ravioli is not the easiest, or the most fun thing to make, but I will say that you will never, ever, beat homemade ravioli. But, I know people are busy and no matter how much they may want to make their own ravioli, they just do not have the time, so I gave you the option. Make you own spinach chorizo ravioli, one of the most unique and most delicious ravioli I have made yet, or just take the short cut and buy some at the store. Trust me, I get it. Life it just to freaking busy.
Anyway, I decided that since I do write a food blog I would just make my own, and you know what? I think I am getting better! Seriously, this time around making the ravioli was a breeze. I am thinking I just got lucky, but whatever I will take it. And the ravioli? So good. So, so, so good. It’s chorizo in pasta, but then it actually gets better because I went and threw some tortilla chips in the food processor with some cojita cheese and then breaded the ravioli like you would chicken. Ah huh. I did.
It is like fried ravioli, but without all the hot oil that spatters all over. Yes.
But probably the best part of this appetizer/snack or ok… (honestly) our dinner? Queso Fundido. The best.
Kind of perfect for New Years Eve, right? Which by the way is tomorrow, which by the way means that 2013 is over and another year has come to an end before my eyes. What?!?
In my eyes, this is the only way to ring in the New Year. Tons of Mexican food + family + hours of eating said Mexican food… Fiesta! Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? Oh, and if you are buying ravioli at the store I recommend getting a non-cheese ravioli. I think lobster or crab would be SO good with the queso!
And on to a Feliz Ano Nuevo!
