Lets face it: as college students we dont always have the time or the money to make a fancy home cooked meal every night. And eating out all the time can get super expensive (not to mention unhealthy) as well. So what are you supposed to do? go semi-homemade!
The grocery store (as well as places like Trader Joes) have tons of options for semi-homemade meals.
One of the easiest is Ravioli! Usually when one thinks store-bought ravioli you go straight to chef Boyardee. the Chef Boyardee worked when we were 7 but now we have (or at least pretend to) more refined pallets which leave us wanting more.
You can find some ravioli's in the freezer section however when I am shopping for ravioli I head over to the cheese section. Located somewhere around the cheeses (depending on the store) there will be a large selection of Buitoni Ravioli's and Tortellini's! With flavors like: quatro formaggio (4 cheese), spinach cheese, chicken and prosciutto among many more, their products come extremely close to homemade/restaurant quality pasta!
Just combine with your favorite sauce (mine are Delgrosso Family marinara or Bertolli alfredo), throw in some frozen meatballs (the ones from trader joes are great!) or fresh veggies and maybe some garlic bread (which you can also buy by the loaf for super cheap in the freezer section) and you will feel great about what you just cooked without putting in a ton of effort or money!
