OLIVE GARDEN COPYCAT MEZZALUNA PASTAS RECIPE

Steps:

• Selecting the Pasta As you can see by the description above, the mezzalunas are a crescent shaped stuffed ravioli. For this recipe we are going to use full size frozen pasta because that is the only kind I could find at my local Walmart Grocery. I like the Buitoni Brand and it comes in a small 9 oz or family 20 oz size. Boil the pasta according to the package directions leaving off 3-4 minutes of cooking time. You want your ravioli to be al dente since we will toss it in the skillet with the sauce later. Make the Shrimp White Sauce Marinate peeled and devained shrimp in Italian salad dressing in the refrigerator for about an hour before cook time. Drain your shrimp and saute in a skillet with some white wine. Remove. Pour in a jar of Alfredo Sauce and heat. Carefully add the cooked ravioli into the skillet. Transfer the ravioli and sauce to plates and top with shrimp and diced roma tomatoes. Make the Italian Sausage Red Sauce Grill Italian sausage on a George Foreman grill. Slice into small round bite size pieces. Pour half a jar of Alfredo sauce and half a jar of pasta sauce into a skillet and heat. Carefully add the cooked ravioli into the skillet. Transfer the ravioli and sauce to plates and top with sliced sausage and Italian cheeses.
