Cooking With Broke College Kids

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a recipe with you all that I made last week.

I'm calling it Homemade Tuna and Sun-Dried Tomatoes Cheesy Raviolis. AKA I-was-out-of-food-and-money-and-got-desperate-so-I-made-stuff-up.Yeah, it's a mouthful (quite literally). So I'm just going to post a picture and the recipe below!




Ingredients:
2 Cups Wheat or Regular Flour
1 Tsp Olive or Vegetable Oil
1 Tbsp Milk
3 Eggs
1 Can Tuna
1 Can Pasta Sauce
1/4 Cup Alfredo Sauce
2 Tbsp Feta Cheese
1 Tbsp Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Italian Seasonings to Taste

1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
2. Put flour on a cooking/pastry board. Make a little dent in the center like you would if you were putting gravy on mashed potatoes.
3. Beat eggs, oil, and milk until well-mixed.
4. Slowly pour egg mixture into the dent in your flour and use fingertips or fork to create a ball of dough.
5. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough.
6. Flatten out the dough using hands or a rolling pin.
7. Cut in to squares.
8. Drain tuna.
9. In a small bowl, mix alfredo sauce, tuna, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes.
10. Pick up two squares of dough and stretch the sides lightly. Place on a lightly floured surface.
11. Add a very small amount of the tuna mix to the center of one of the squares.
12. Put the other squares on top and lightly press the sides together until sealed.
13. Use a fork to lightly press the lines in to the side. I don't know if there is a scientific reason for this, but it looks good and only takes about two seconds.
14. Set aside.
15. Repeat for remaining squares.
16. Pour pasta sauce into a short cake pan or casserole dish.
17. Place raviolis on top of sauce.
18. Sprinkle spices and extra feta on top.
19. Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.
20. Serve immediately with oregano sprinkled on top for good show

Makes 12-15 raviolis.
