Double Wild Mushroom Ravioli’s with Arugula & Parmesan Recipe
Happy Hump Day all! I sometimes think I dream of mushrooms ~ I know some of my friends who think I am crazy for loving fungus, but, they are crazy, not me 
I couldn’t wait to get through my eats today so I could get on to my new recipe that I have been dreaming about ever since I picked up Buitoni Wild Mushroom Ravioli’s that are stuffed with portabella mushrooms, roasted garlic, and CHEESE!!!
I think my Double Wild Mushroom Ravioli’s with Arugula & Parmesan might have even been Mushroom Channel worthy Maybe…I <3 Mushrooms!
Ok…I’’ stop rambling about mushrooms and get on with my day. I started off my day with some basic oats topped with delicious fresh organic berries!
1/3 c Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
1 Tbsp Ground Flax Seed
Dashes of Cinnamon
2/3 c water
1 c strawberries
Organic Raw Agave Nectar Drizzle
2 pts…simple, yet, delicious and filling.
I had a Morning Star Maple Flavored Veggie Sausage for some protein since I forgot my eggs (2 pts)
Mid morning snack ~ watermelon & RF Cabot (2 pts)
I met The Husband at home for lunch today ~ On the menu, these FANTASTIC Turkey/AVOCADO subs. I ate half plus 2 bites of the other for 5 points so I could have room for
BBQ POP Chips!!! (you get 19 for 2 pts).
My lunch did an AWESOME job at keeping me full so I listened to my body, not my mouth (that wanted ChocoLOVE) and didn’t have an afternoon snack.
Dinner tonight featured the Buitoni Wild Mushroom Ravioli’s that we got for free from FoodBuzz as part of the tastemaker program.
I pretty much LOVE all the Buitoni pastas, but, I have never tried these ravioli’s.
7 points for 1/2 the pack and decent ingredients!
I pretty much decided how I was going to make our ravioli’s when I saw these Baby Bella Mushrooms.
Double Wild Mushroom Ravioli’s with Arugula & Parmesan
INGREDIENTS:

8 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced
8 oz white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
3-4 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 Tbsp White Wine or broth
5 cups Arugula
1 package Buitoni Wild Mushroom Ravioli’s
4 Tbsp shaved parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Caramelize onion in a nonstick pan with nonstick spray over medium low heat. Meanwhile, add your Olive Oil and mushrooms to a large pan to saute over medium heat, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Cook ravioli’s according to package instructions, for approximately 4 minutes in boiling water. Add garlic, sea salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to your mushroom mixture and cook 1 minute. Stir in onions and add wine scrapping any bits off the bottom of your pan.
3. Wilt in 3 cups of arugula and remove from heat. Add ravioli’s, a pinch of parmesan and a little pasta water if needed. Stir gentle to combine.
4. Serve over 1 cup fresh Arugula and enjoy.

SO EASY STEP-BY-STEPS:
Saute your onions and your mushrooms separately.
Add in garlic, sea salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.
Add your cooked onions to the mushroom mixture.
Drop your pasta and cook for 4 minutes to make it al dente.
Deglaze with a little white wine.
Wilt in arugula.
Add ravioli’s, parmesan and a little pasta water if needed.
Gently stir to combine.
Place 1 cup of fresh arugula onto your serving bowl/plate.
Top with additional parmesan and crushed red pepper flakes if desired. BIG BOWLS of PASTA and MUSHROOMS make me happy ~ I LOVE how the greens bulk it up!
Dig in and enjoy your rich, creamy, earthy ravioli pillows of goodness. You can really taste both types of mushrooms and I LOVED the two different textures of the wilted and fresh arugula.
DELICIOUS! The Husband gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 ~ I agree I am definitely dreaming of buying these ravioli’s again!
Dessert was a little brie Laughing Cow with Apricot Preserves (3 pts)
Get ready for another HEALTHY GIVEAWAY coming up tomorrow
Night all!
I should’ve stayed in bed….
Today was totally one of “THOSE” days where you know you might just be better off if you just stay under the covers and don’t leave the house.
Last night, I remembered to set the alarm, but, I forgot one sort of important detail ~ to actually turn the alarm ON! I woke up luckily at (5:50 am) in a panic since The Husband had to go in today by 6 am. I felt so bad telling him you have to get up and go now. I rushed around getting him out the door then, the rest of my morning went like this:
* Quickly throw everything in the crock pot to make the planned Irish feast #1 Guinness Beer Pot Pie. Try not to get sick cutting up raw meat that early in the morning (so repulsive).
* Stuff the crockpot to the bring with everything, but, put a cookie sheet under it in case it “overflows”
* Throw random food in a bag to take for lunch (notice anything missing here)
* Fill up SIGG water bottle, knock it over while grabbing the lid, fill it again!
* Get ready and out the door to rush to Starbuck’s because The Husband asked if I could bring him one (guilt told me I had to since I didn’t exactly wake him up on time)
Wait forever and a day at Starbuck’s (because it always takes forever when you are in a hurry
) Realize AFTER I order and stood there impatiently that I FORGOT to pack breakfast when I packed lunch *sigh* Hop back in line and have them think about helping the obviously cranky girl
Get paid back for begin grumpy while driving in and my latte spills all over my car ~ frickin’ frackin’!!!
I finally managed to make it into work late, gobbled down my breakfast then realized I FORGOT to take a flippin’ picture ~ AHHHH – it’s not even 8 am at this point. Luckily I’ve had the same breakfast before (other than my grande latte was HOT). Starbuck’s perfect oatmeal with the berry blend and brown sugar (no nuts) (9.5 pts and I don’t even care that my breakfast is high in points at this point.)
As I opened my email, my reminder pops up to tell me have a doctor’s appointment today AFTER I had already told my friend I’d go to lunch with her yesterday…call to cancel and reschedule for tomorrow. *sigh*
Luckily, I managed to be pretty normal with the rest of my morning although I was so not feeling the fact that I had to train people all morning and have my coworkers ALL ask me about my run, why I am limping and then, have my boss tell me I am crazy for running when I have a perfectly good car to drive LOL.
Lunch was the only thing leftover we had in the fridge ~ 2 slices of Veggie Pizza. Why is pizza so good the next day ~ probably because of the CHEESE in the crust!!!
Plus two cuties (1 pt) ~ I eat these seriously for those cute little stickers!
On my way to the doctor’s, The Husband calls me to let me know the crockpot is overflowing EVERYWHERE ~ really?! Ugh….Luckily he fixes it so I don’t have to come home to deal with that too.
After my doctor’s appointment, I pretty much decided at this point that FROYO would make my day BETTER. I got a little crazy packing my small cup because sometimes, you just NEED to go crazy and have FROYO for dinner. My cup was packed with strawberry, the Mystery Flavor (Blueberry) and vanilla with sprinkles and mini yogurt chips.
When I got home, I took a little nap and then finished dinner. I pulled out the Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets that I received from FoodBuzz as part of the Tastemaker program awhile back. I was not sure how I was going to use them, but, this Guinness Beer Pot Pie sounded like the perfect thing.
I should’ve checked the ingredient list before I said I’d use them because they contain High Fructose Corn Syrup
The finished product!
I wasn’t hungry at all since I had froyo for dinner and I made this dish for The Husband. I had two bites of his dish and realized I LOVE puff pastry , but, I didn’t really like this dish. It’s super gravy like and bland even after I added extra spices and seasoning ~ we ended up tossing it….such a bummer.
I think I’ve come to the conclusion that Saveur magazine does not match my cooking style. I’ve tried two recipes now from them…the first you never saw (Cheesy Chicken Plantain Enchiladas) and both were complete FAILS. They look and sound good, but, the result is not so good to me.
Tomorrow the Corned Beef goes into the crockpot and now I am a little nervous that my “cooker” (as in me) may be broke. I NEED to make some delicious food again that we actually keep to redeem myself
I am off to indulge in some Biggest Loser!!! Tomorrow is going to be a BETTER day!
Night all!

I have sort of a funny story regarding my breakfast this morning. I was pondering all the ideas you shared with me to help break me out of my Breakfast Rut when I randomly recalled my visit to Europe a few years back. I LOVED how they served up meats and cheeses to make sandwiches for breakfast. So, I thought, why not do that?
1 Whole Wheat Bagel Thin
1 oz LEAN Honey Ham
1/2 oz Lean Honey Roasted Turkey Breast
1 Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss Wedge
It was good, but, you know, I really think you have to be in EUROPE to actually appreciate having a sandwich for breakfast. It wasn’t bad for 3.5 points, but, I am not sure it was as COOL as I remembered . I served it up with 1 cup of strawberries.
4 points of Europeanness 
LOL
My Mid Morning snack was a 3 point repeat of yesterday ~ 4 Kashi Bruschetta Crackers with 1 Sargento Low-Fat Colby Jack Cheese.
It has been pouring rain here all day and I have to admit I got REALLY excited when I saw the sun come out. I thought for sure that I could squeeze in a quick run before the rain came back even though there were a million signs telling “Don’t Do It!” (Rain, forgot my water bottles for my fuel belt, forgot my headphones = no music)
I laced up my shoes, found some spare headphones in my desk and headed out. 3 minutes in it started to sprinkle. I thought, ok, I can handle a little rain….then, the drops got bigger and BIGGER and I thought ~ wait, I don’t want to ruin my shoes & I have my WEIGH IN tonight so I don’t want wet hair (you know that could be like an extra 1/2 lb LOL).
I reluctantly turned around and changed up my lunch plans. I ran to Whole Foods to pick up some PLANTAINS to make Cheesy Chicken & Plantain Enchiladas later this week.
Guess what I found when I was there????
CHOCO-LOVE!!!! Not, just any flavored Choco-LOVE, but the TWO flavors that everyone has been searching for to get me ~ DARK CHOCOLATE SEA SALTED ALMOND & TOFFEE+ALMONDS IN MILK CHOCOLATE!!! Notice how they have MINI bars now – so cool! Don’t worry, I went Choco-CRAZY, but, I shared with two of my friends
Lunch started out with a 1/2 cup Sweet Potato “bowl”.
Topped with 1 cup of leftover Black Bean & Sausage soup. tomatoes, 1/8 AVOCADO, 3 FoodShouldTasteGood Tortilla Chips and Sriracha! (6.5 points)
I honestly think that my favorite new way to enjoy any beans is in a sweet potato bowl ~ I LOVE the salty, sweet, creamy combo!
I am pretty sure you could guess my afternoon snack ~ 6 squares of ChocoLOVE Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt and Almonds for 3 points. SO GOOD ~ It’s totally LOVE
My Weigh In today was a totally bust ~ I lost .2 lbs ~ really, that’s all?! I am happy it’s down, always better than up, but I honestly felt I earned so much more, but, for whatever reason, I am doing a great job maintaining. I am going to see if I can shake things up this week and make the scale go down again.
Our topic was pretty cool ~ It was all about spicing things up and trying new things. Definitely something I will be focusing on this week.
I had a fun, unexpected package on my door when I got home from Bertolli.
I had forgot I had signed up with FoodBuzz as part of the Taste Maker Program to receive TWO Bertolli Sauces ~ Four Cheese Rosa & Arrabbiatta. I am so excited to try them out.
I LOVE that they fed my recipe addiction by including recipes too!
The Husband and I did some shopping after my meeting and decided to have some of my FAVORITE Spicy Chicken Tacos at Vasquez for dinner. I had two for 8 points.
I am such a good wife because I shared my Choco-LOVE with The Husband! I totally wanted to have more but, I refrained and opted for some 1 point Annie’s Organic Bunnies to satisfy my sweet tooth. Yes, I totally should’ve had fruit since I am lacking in the f/v department, but, sometimes you just have to go with what sounds good, right
Keep those emails coming because we have such a fun group ready to meet up. If you are interested in participating (or driving from anywhere to meet us) in the Bay Area Blogger Meet Up with TJ & I, send an email to me at danicasdaily at gmail.com.
Just TWO more days….Yeah!
