Creamy Pesto Ravioli

This past Tuesday I was not feeling fancy. In fact I was feeling like In N Out burger. However I fought my urge for fried goodness a dropped by Trader Joe's in hopes of finding something pre-made-ish that I could spruce up for my Tuesday dinner date with the boy.
.
This is what I ended up with, like all things with pesto, it turned out scrumptious.

Easy Peasy Creamy Pesto Ravioli:

Ingredients:
1 tb butter
3 cooked chicken breast (I bought pre-cooked ones from TJ's. Gross, yet actually yummy!)
Enough garlic to swing a stick at: appox 1/2 tbs.
1 container of premade pesto
1 cup of whipping cream (because it is lent!)
2 packs of Trader Joe's four cheese ravioli
Salt and Pepper to taste
Parmesan cheese

Method
1. In a large pot boil water, salt and EVOO to cook ravioli in
2. Cut cooked chicken into bite size chunks
3. Heat butter and garlic, once melted add chicken
4. Place ravioli in boiling water
5. Add pesto and cream to skillet. Let simmer while ravioli is cooking
6. Toss cooked ravioli and sauce together
7. Garnish with salt pepper and parm cheese as needed
WaLa! This seriously took a whole 20 minutes start to finish and was pretty dang good.

P.S. I have a seriously love for Trader Joe's. *Sigh*
