Chicken Ravioli with Kale and Peppers

Here is what my schedule regularly looks like: Wake up at 4:30 am, get to the gym by 4:50 to set up and workout from 5:15 -6:15 am, run to work and be working by 7:00 am, work until 4:00 pm, rush home, change and get back to the gym by 5:30 pm (trying to get some sort of dinner prepped before I go to the gym), work at the gym until 8 - 8:30 pm! Long day! So when Stephen and I get home at 8 - 8:30 we are starving and I am always looking for something quick to make. This is a dish I will regularly go to. DELICIOUS and uber simple!

1/2 container of Costco Chicken & Mozzarella Ravioli
Italian Meatballs (mine had mozzarella in them)
1 orange pepper, diced
1 yellow pepper. diced
1 cup of Kale, diced
2 cups fresh spinach
salt and pepper
garlic powder
pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Meatballs




Directions:
  • Boil your water and cook the ravioli according to the instructions, drain and set aside - reserve about 1/4 cup of hot cooking liquid
  • Cook meatballs in a pan until they are browned
  • Add Peppers, kale, and spinach and cook about 5 minutes, until everything is softer. You still want everything to taste fresh and have some crispness. 
  • Season the vegetables
  • Add the ravioli to the veggies and meatballs - add a little bit of the pasta cooking water to the pan and stir, careful not to add to much (only need about 3 tablespoons). 
  • Devour!
