BAKED RAVIOLI WITH CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI
Super easy and full of flavor! Make ahead and bake when ready to serve. The best part, you don't have to boil the ravioli ahead of time, it cooks while it bakes. Use whatever ravioli you like, cheese, spinach, or mixed veggie work great!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add diced chicken and cook until slightly browned (about 5-6 minutes). Add in the broccoli florets, garlic, and salt. Cook until broccoli has softened slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove chicken and broccoli from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the butter and cook until the mixture is golden, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring the mixture to a simmer then stir in 1 cup of mozzarella and all of the parmesan. Let simmer until the cheese has melted and sauce has thickened. Add in the chicken and broccoli mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Lay half of the ravioli in a single layer (overlapping slightly if necessary) on the bottom of the baking dish, then top with half of the remaining sauce. Repeat with remaining ravioli and remaining sauce. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and bake 25-30 minutes until sauce is bubbly and ravioli are tender.
- If you want a golden top to your dish, broil for 2-3 minutes on high. Let dish sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with basil leaves, optional.

Steps:
- This is a twist on the classic Italian dish of orecchiette with broccoli, anchovies and garlic - I've added cauliflower and made it an oven-baked dish. The flavors are amazing.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and drop in the chopped broccoli and cauliflower. Boil for 5 to 6 minutes, until cooked, then drain in a colander, reserving the cooking water.
- Heat a wide saucepan, pour in a couple of good glugs of olive oil and add the garlic. Fry for a few seconds, then add the thyme leaves, anchovies, anchovy oil and chiles and continue frying for a few seconds more before adding the cooked broccoli and cauliflower with around 4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water. Stir everything together, put a lid on the pan leaving a little gap, and cook slowly for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring regularly - overcooking the vegetables not only intensies their flavor but gives you the texture that you need for this recipe. Remove the lid for the last 5 minutes to let the moisture evaporate, then use a potato masher to crush the vegetables. Take the saucepan off the heat, taste the vegetables and season carefully with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet to cool. Meanwhile, get yourself another baking dish or roasting pan (the right size for fitting the cannelloni tubes snugly side by side - I test this by actually laying the tubes into the dish, then remove them and put to 1 side) and pour in the tomato sauce with a pinch of salt and a swig of red wine vinegar.
- Now, to make a really quick and easy white sauce, mix the creme fraiche with half the Parmesan, a sprinkling of salt and pepper and a little of the reserved cooking water to thin it down.
- Spoon your cooled broccoli and cauliflower mixture into a large sandwich bag and cut off the corner. Twist the top of the bag and squeeze it to pipe the filling into the cannelloni tubes. (If you prefer, use a teaspoon to push the mixture into the cannelloni or use a piping bag.) Fill the tubes up - don't be stingy! - and place them in a single layer on top of the sauce. Lay the basil leaves over the cannelloni and spoon your white sauce evenly over the top. Season with black pepper, sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan and tear over the mozzarella. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden and bubbling on top.
- Dress the arugula leaves with a squeeze of lemon juice and about 3 times as much extra- virgin olive oil. Serve the cannelloni with the arugula and some good crusty bread.

Steps:

Season with salt and continue to cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 more minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic and vinegar and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, then add the ravioli, broth and Parmesan; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Steps:
- Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl to dissolve sugar into the liquid. Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until cornstarch dissolves completely.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Fry chicken and onion in hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir broccoli with the chicken and onion; saute until the broccoli is hot, about 5 minutes. Push the chicken and vegetables mixture to the side of the skillet.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture into the vacant part of the skillet. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the soy sauce mixture until the color is consistent. Move the chicken and vegetables back into the center to the pan; saute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 5 minutes more.

- Season your food: Don't be afraid to season your food with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to ensure that it is safe to eat.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help to prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make your dish shine. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in your dish.
