Barley Salad and Pesto Ravioli with Cream Sauce March 24, 2010

Although I made this quite a while ago, I had to post it.  The barley salad is very refreshing with a sweet tang!  I love using this ravioli.  I buy it from Whole Foods, and it is very easy to make.  The cream sauce is super easy and one of my favorites because you can easily change it by adding different spices and/or cheeses.

To make the cream sauce:

Melt 2 tbs butter, add 2 tbs flour to sauce pan.  Stir and get it bubbly.  Reduce heat (or remove from heat) to add about 1 cup milk (either cow’s or soy).  Over low heat, stir and allow the mixture to thicken.  I then usually add a little bit of cheese (preferably parmesan and mozzarella).  Mmm!

Chris loves spaghetti, but he’s not a huge fan of tofu (imagine that).  However, he was thrilled with this recipe.  I loved this recipe because it combined lots of excellent flavors. I baked the tofu, lightly covered in pesto sauce.  The toasted pine nuts provided a rich, buttery flavor.  It was very tasty, and the left-overs were great, too!
