Roasted Vegetable Ravioli

I am always on the hunt for quick-cheap-healthy recipes. This combo of quick-cheap-healthy is quite difficult. When I am able to create a meal that is quick-cheap-healthy, I feel like I have really accomplished something. Like I am super-wife. Last night I threw together a ravioli dish before going to see Inception (great movie). We are in the end-of-the-month mode when we try our hardest not to eat out and to make do with what we have. This creation was one of our favorite get-rid-of-the-rotting-vegetables-in-the-fridge we have come up with. We will definitely be eating it again this week.

Roasted Vegetable Ravioli
-
2 small squash
- 2 small zucchini
- 1 onion
- handful of okra
- drizzle of olive oil
- drizzle of balsamic vinegar
-
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- salt and pepper
- frozen beef ravioli (I used Kroger generic- cheese would be good too)
- bottled marinara sauce
Preheat oven to 425. Slice vegetables into pieces of the same size. Place in a bowl or a large ziploc bag. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Toss with red pepper, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Spread veggies in a single layer on a jelly roll pan. Roast veggies in oven for about 30 minutes, flipping with a spatula halfway through. Take out of oven and set aside. Prepare ravioli according to package instructions. Place back in pot and add marinara (probably around a 1/2 cup per serving ?) and veggies. Serve and enjoy.

Have any other quick-cheap-healthy recipes? Post up!!!
