Ravioli and Pierogies...Oh My!

If you weren't at Saturday's meeting you very well may have missed the best food we've ever sampled at a meeting--Conte's Pasta ravioli and pierogies. It seemed as if participants had a difficult time eating and chatting as the room was eerily quiet while everyone was eating. Many thanks to Conte's Pasta for the very generous donation of their gluten-free products!

We've put a call into Conte's Pasta to find out where their products may be purchased locally. We'll update this post once we receive the information. In the meantime, the ravioli and pierogies as well as gnocchi may be ordered online.

In order to keep the ravioli and pierogies for a while, Mary par boiled the ravioli, tossed it with a bit of butter to prevent sticking, placed it in a crockpot and added marinara sauce. The pierogies were also par boiled, tossed with butter and then fried in an electric skillet just before serving.

We had so much product that we placed two bags of Conte's Pasta in one of the raffles which the Amy L. won! Pat generously offered 'to keep the pasta safe' until the May meeting due.
