. . . Baked Ravioli and Garlic Bread . . .

I admit it I am a pasta girl--it really doesn't matter what kind because I love it all more than I should.  I guess I should have been Italian.  This recipe is so scrumptious and so EASY!  It is mostly a no fail recipe that everyone will enjoy.  My son is a pretty picky eater when it comes to pasta (obviously he got that from his dad and not his mom) and he gobbled this up.  I also had fresh herbs from my Grandmother and that made the garlic bread extra yummy too.
