Pan Ravioli - total time 30 minutes

For those of you that think bacon makes everything better... here is a dish for you!  I have never been that into bacon.  I mean, it is good in small amounts on occasion.  This dish kind of changes my mind.  The bacon gives it a salty, rich flavor with the crunch of the pan toasted ravioli tossed in some delicious veggies.  Basically, I can't wait to make this again!


1 package cheese ravioli
3 pieces bacon
.5 cup milk
.5 cup bread crumbs
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tomatoes, chopped
1.5 cups spinach, chopped
basil
salt and pepper

1.  Chop bacon into one inch pieces.  Cook over medium heat for about five minutes.  Remove bacon from pan and set on paper towel and reserve the bacon fat.
2.  Coat raviolis in milk and then bread crumbs.  Lay ravioli flat in pan over medium-low heat for about four minutes per side until nice and toasted.
3.  Chop tomatoes and spinach, mince garlic and add to pan with bacon, salt, and pepper.  Stir and cook for five minutes.  Sprinkle shredded basil over top and serve!
