Simple weeknight dinner that will make your family swoon! Comforting ravioli dish made with quick creamy red bell pepper basil sauce and topped with shaved Parmesan cheese.

It’s the middle of October, it’s beautiful outside, and I’m sitting here wrapped in a blanket with a cup of hot green tea with honey and ginseng. Seems like the time of the year that is just right for non-stop comfort food.

Well, the time of the year is definitely just right but I’m not actually wrapped in a blanket because it’s cold outside, I’m wrapped in a blanket because I’m sitting right under the A/C vent and I don’t feel like moving my computer. The mood is also just right for some comfort food but the weather, well that’s another story. It’s still in the 80s and I don’t expect it to change for a while.

Weather be damned, I get in a fall comfort mood the second clock “strikes” September 1st. If I’d wait for the weather to turn into fall, I’d be making my first cup of hot cocoa in January. In Florida, we create our own seasonal atmosphere. You know, we buy fall colored leaves and use fake snow to decorate the house.

It’s alright though because if the seasons won’t come to us, we will forcibly bring them with fake decorations, pretend it’s all read, and enjoy them as much as our friends up north.

So, whether it’s 60 degrees outside or 80, comfort food will be a must on my dinner menu this time of year. Especially if we’re talking ravioli in a creamy red bell pepper and basil sauce. Especially if it’s topped with some freshly shaved Parmesan cheese. And, especially if we’re talking a dinner that only takes roughly 30 minutes to make!
