Hi,
I have been given M&S beetroot and lemon ravioli. MIL sent FIL to shop for ready made meals when she was bed bound and that is what he brought home. She was not impressed. She sent him for lasagne! he can just about boil water and shift stuff into the oven, but certainly cannot start making sauces! He did not buy a sauce... Men, really, they can be clueless!!
It sometimes surprises me. What did he think is going to happen? Did she ever serve him dry pasta?
I, just like her, have absolutely no idea what sort of sauce to make with it! I googled it, but there is nothing out there that sounds interesting...
What would you do?
Anyone tasted it?

Put some butter in a pan and maybe some basil leaves, drain ravioli, saute them in the the pan with butter and sage. Add grated parmesan and serve warm.
Edit or maybe some fennel tops in place of basil....Dwy galon, un dyhead,

My Oh doesn't like sage. But could be basil..
Also was thinking perhaps crispy pancetta bits?0 -

Pancetta would work, but the saltiness may overpower the taste of the ravioli.
Yes, I am worried about that too.
But I am also worried it might be a bit bland. I really don't know how strong the beetroot flavour is.
I love beetroot, but it usually goes with something fairly strong, like goat cheese salad or with a roast..
It is not something I can eat a lot of by itself.
And I need my food wet, I hate dry food. So it needs to have covering of something.
I have to say it is not something I would have bought in store myself. But now I have 2 packs in my freezer and need to use them. I will not throw away food, especially as it is M&S and was not cheap!0 -

Use fennel tops or finely chopped fennel in the sauce, I always think that beetroot needs a good fragrant herb to go with it to take the sweetness away.
Let us know what you end up doing...Dwy galon, un dyhead,

Definitely a brown butter sauce, flavoured with either herbs or spring onions.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Brown butter sauce?
I don't think I ever had that!
Or eat that! But it has butter, I am in :-)0 -
A bit of a chef-y expression for a simple procedure, I'm afraid. You literally heat the butter up in a pan until it colours, and add the herbs and seasoning in at the end so it aromatises rather than burn.Brown butter sauce?

You'll know you've gone wrong if you end up with black butter sauce Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

It definitely sounds interesting. Ultimately it is exactly what Oakdene said, just a bit more posh sound to it:-) :-) Just read a bit more about it on the internet.
I suppose it is very safe one until I know how strong the beetroot flavour is!
I think it will go on a menu next week.0 -
I thought it sounded nice. I'd possibly buy the ravioli for my daughter. Not completely understanding what you meant though, I googled and there's this idea about what to have it with. Not sure if they stock the crab and chilli themselves.
