Ravioli with Tomato, Corn and Pesto
This was a Friday night dinner that I threw together after looking through the fridge and freezer for inspiration. We always have cheese ravioli in the freezer for Baby Girl, so that was my first stop. We also had some tomatoes a friend of mine gave me from her garden, as well as one ear of corn. I'd recently made pesto so I decided that would be the sauce.
Ravioli with Tomato, Corn and Pesto
1 ear of corn
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
Pesto
1 lb cheese ravioli, cooked according to package directions
Microwave the corn, 4 minutes per ear, inside the husk. Carefully remove from the microwave (it will be hot). Cut off the stem end and hold by the top, shaking to loosen the corn. Or just peel off the husks. Cut the kernels off the cob and place in a bowl. Add the diced tomatoes.
Add the cooked and drained ravioli to the bowl with the corn and tomatoes. Toss to combine, then add pesto starting with 1 tablespoon, tossing to coat each time until there's enough sauce.

Beginner's Blues
Oh, yeah. It's all happening. Big one has a piano exam in 2 weeks so you can't keep the little one off the piano. Reverse psychology? Go figure! Please excuse the really out of tune piano. It hasn't been tuned in 6 moves. I know. I'm a bogan. I don't tune my piano. Can't keep everyone happy. But because of this video, I am booking a tuner today.
Enjoy my little lad.
