CostCo Ravs with Interesting Stuff

We have a variation on this theme a lot. I like that they are organic, and there are several choices. These are Mozarrella-Spinach, and Lobster-Marscapone. Mark's favorite is Chicken-Mozarella.

Usually, the sauce is a green, leafy vegetable (such as spinach, kale, chard) plus broccoli, zucchini, or artichoke hearts ( marinated ) plus tomatoes. If good tomatoes are out of season, canned from Italy works fine--just not too much. And lots of good quality, freshly grated Parm. Sometimes I add toasted nuts if I'm not using the chicken ravs. Or a little leftover chicken sausage or any other leftover meat....

For the lobster ravioli I softened dried porcini mushrooms and used the liquid with Italian tomato and chopped parsley to make a light sauce. I honestly can't taste the lobster (even with no sauce) So the dish was okay, but not lobster-y.

Start with 2 or 3 tablespoons of good olive oil, and 2 or3 garlic cloves (I use the frozen TJs cubes) and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Saute a little. Add green leafy stuff. Stir until it is partly cooked. Add steamed broccoli pieces, and any other vegetables.  If using canned tomato or juicy cut ones, put them in now. If not, add a little chicken or vegetable broth (probably a little water from the ravs would work also). If using cherry tomatoes, put them in last. If it needs a little more flavor, stir in some olive tapinade. Add a good handful of parm. stir it around. Put the ravsa in the dish, stir in sauce very gently,
