"Home Maid" Butternut Squash Raviolis

I was at the Bishop Ranch Farmer's Market last week with my mom and we were both looking at a pasta stand that was handing out samples of various pastas and sauces/dips.  After about 10 tastes of their items, we were hooked and knew we had to buy something. So, we decided to get two packages of raviolis, one being "Home Maid's" Butternut Squash Raviolis.  The company is based in South San Francisco (according to the packaging) and had other varieties like a spinach ravioli with a ricotta cheese filling and a 'deluxe' meat variety. They come 24 to a box.



They have a fantastic flavor to them! Even my father who normally doesn't eat 'healthy' options like squash/vegetarian meals agreed that he liked them better than deluxe meat raviolis.

All you need to do is thaw them after taking them out of the freezer and boil for about 10-15 minutes, or until the raviolis float to the top of the pot. Simple and easy dinner, voila! They can be paired with pretty much any sauce, red, white, or maybe even a pesto.  If you didn't know they were made from butternut squash you might actually mistake them for cheese raviolis. The flavor isn't super strong and would go great with any meal.
