Pasta and Twilight.


Went to my mom's house last night to make her dinner and watch Twilight. The pasta ended up being quite good and I thought I would share my creation. Sorry that the directions are a bit vague, when I cook I tend to just throw things together and not notice amounts and time and such.



  • 1/2 package Kirkland frozen four cheese ravioli

  • 1 tbs olive oil

  • 2 tbs butter

  • 8 oz cream cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 3/4 cup milk

  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced into strips

  • 2 green bell peppers, sliced into strips

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 10 oz brown mushrooms, sliced

  • breast meat of 1 rotisserie chicken, chopped

  • salt and lemon pepper to taste

Cook raviolis according to package directions.


Heat olive oil in large pan, add peppers and saute until they start to soften. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add mushrooms and saute until softened. Season with salt and a few dashes of lemon pepper. Add chopped chicken meat and cook until heated through. Remove mixture from pan into a bowl, return pan to stove. Melt butter in pan, add cream cheese and stir until almost melted. Add Parmesan and milk little bits at a time, adjusting to your own personal taste and texture preference, I just threw them in until it tasted good and seemed the right consistency. Pour over cooked raviolis, fold in chicken mixture.


Two things that I learned about twilight that night. 1) Stephanie Meyer is in the movie. The second scene on Bella and Charlie at the lodge. The woman sitting at the computer that the waitress is serving, that's her. Didn't notice that the first time watching it. 2) Port Angeles... when my family took our big month long trip up north and to Canada, we stopped in Port Angeles and took a ferry from there to Vancouver. So yes, I have been there! LoL, I am such a geek!
