Dinner 1/24/2012

Christmas was very good to us so we've started being fancy, with a Costco membership, a gas bbq grill and a bit more leeway in food choices right now.

So tonight is Costco ravioli (chicken Italian sausage and provolone), with red sauce and garlic bread.

The ravioli come in a two pack for $8.89.  The massive size of Prego (hoping its tasty I haven't tried yet) was $5.64 for 2 of those.  Each massive sauce is just under 3 normal grocery store jars of sauce.  The bread I made.  So costs so far:

    sauce
    $5.64
    $0.94

    total
    $5.38

    /person
    $2.69


Now figuring the bread is going to be really tricky.  I am making pizza tomorrow so I made the dough up today, the recipe I have makes 2 thin pies (in the size pan I have) or one decent crusted and a perfect amount for a calzone or whatever.  I used this whatever to make a garlic bread today.

The Parmesan was the fancy shredded kind in a tub for $1.99 and the mozzarella was 4 cups shredded in a bag for $3.49

Let the butter soften place in bowl.  Add crushed garlic, cheese, a bit of salt, and a tiny bit of dried basil and parsley, combine well.  Roll the dough out in a rectangular shape, spread the garlic mixture over all of it, roll up tuck the ends in. Let rise 30+ minutes.
Bake at 425 degrees for 7-10 minutes.
