Unmasking the Potential: Exploring the Link Between Garlic and Health

The National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education (MDM Scheme), launched in August 1995 emphasises on the provision of cooked meals with a minimum of 450 – 700 calories and 8-12 grams of proteins and was further converted by the National Food Security Act (NFSA) 2013 into a legal right upto Class 8. Over 94% of the children in government and government aided schools come from Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Classes and minority communities. For a majority of children in government schools who are from marginalised communities and malnourished, garlic, onion and eggs form an important part of their diets, limited only by the factor of affordability. Eggs have been denied to children as part of the mid-day meals in schools for several years. Described as the ‘menstrual discharge’ of the hen, eggs are labelled as ‘sinful’, ‘violent’, and agitating the senses, with egg eaters deserving to be ‘destroyed’. If, instead of this unscientific propaganda, the nutritional value of eggs had been the primary deciding factor, children would have been given eggs as part of the mid-day meal scheme on 5 days of the week.

I just made this. Whatever it is. White beans and roasted garlic...it's basically hummus with beans instead of chickpeas. It's 😘👌

"Zhongli, would you eat me if I were food?"

"Of course I would," your husband responds, a small smile on his face.

Your eyes widen, a pout now making itself known. "I thought you were going to say, No, I would never eat my beloved! What gives?"

Zhongli's smile grows. "I had initially thought to give such an answer, but I think trying new things would be rather lovely." He pulls you close as if he didn't just insinuate you would be an interesting new meal to sample.

"Well!" you huff, "I wouldn't be very tasty."

"I have tasted you many times and find you perfect for my palate," replies Zhongli nonchalantly, cuddling you, "so there is nothing to worry about."

Your face heats up; looking away, you stammer, "I - I wouldn't be a healthy option..?"

"Some meals can simply be enjoyed for their taste rather than their nutritional value." Zhongli beams, his smile a blend of mocking and loving. "So, I believe dinner is accounted for. I shall add salt, pepper, garlic and some vegetables and have myself a fine meal, hm?"

"No!" you protest, squirming, to which your lover only laughs and holds you tighter.

How I Manage Food Costs as a Feedist

Preface: I often see people in this community post about struggling with food insecurity and managing food costs. These are just some tips that have helped me when I was down to the last few dollars and needed to eat for a few weeks. I understand circumstances are different for everyone, and some people struggle even with this level of food security, I have been there. My intention is to help.

With food prices still high—often due to profit gouging—I’ve found ways to manage my food budget, and the secret is simple: **eat at home!** Growing up in extreme poverty with two working parents, eating at home was pretty much our only option, aside from takeout once every few months. My parents taught me the value of home cooking, and while it takes time to develop essential skills, Making sauces, learning how to prep and clean ingredients, cooking veggies, preparing meats, etc., once you have them, there’s a whole world of recipes within reach.

Here’s how I manage food costs, and how you can too:

1. Weekly/Monthly Shopping Essentials

Start with the basics—items you’ll need to shop for regularly to cover your meals for a week or two. Building a pantry depends on the storage space you have, but here are some key ingredients to keep on hand:

- Milk (1 to 2 gallons, depending on your choice—I go with 1%)

- Eggs (18 count)

- Bread (1 loaf) (I also recommend tortillas as they last longer than bread and can be used for nearly any bread needs)

- Rolls or Croissants (If you shop at a bulk store, you can get a dozen for $6.)

- Fruits: Change with the season, but apples, oranges, and grapes are solid year-round choices. In the summer, throw in some berries and stone fruit.

- Veggies for Prep: Stick to simple, versatile veggies like green bell peppers, zucchini, onions, potatoes, and chilies.

- Butter: Unsalted sweet cream butter is my favorite! Go for sticks instead of tubs for a better per-unit cost.

- Leafy Greens: A bag of spinach or romaine hearts

- Cheese: Shredded cheese works best and if you want to save more, buy a block and slice or shred it yourself.

These staples give you a variety of flavors, textures, and nutrition to build meals around, whether you’re whipping up sides, salads, or more complex dishes.

2. Protein, Protein, Protein!

Protein is an essential part of a healthy diet, but you don’t need to overdo it or overspend. I’ve found that chicken and tofu are some of the most affordable and versatile protein sources available (unless you’re hunting your own!). Both freeze well and can be used in a variety of recipes with different seasonings and marinades.

You can also look at beef, but stick to lean beef and fish as you do not want to pay for fat that will not end up in your food.

3. Shelf-Stable Items to Buy in Bulk

Buying in bulk can be a game changer, especially if you stock up on shelf-stable items. If you’re short on storage space, invest in an airtight tote to keep things organized. Start with common essentials like:

- Flour (Good ole AP with cover you most of the time)

- Sugar

- Baking Powder

- Baking Soda

- Brown Sugar

- Cooking Oil (I go for olive oil and canola oil)

These staples are the foundation of countless recipes and, when stored properly, can last for months or even a year.

4. Season Early, Season Often

Spices are what make food magical! You don’t need fancy brands—stick with basics that offer single-ingredient profiles. My go-to spices are:

- Salt

- Pepper

- Garlic Powder

- Onion Powder

- Thyme

- Oregano

- Paprika

- Cumin

- Cinnamon

- Chili Powder

- Vanilla Extract

- Bouillon Cubes

- Red Pepper Flakes

These spices will give you all the flavor you need to create a variety of meals without breaking the bank.

5. Canned Goods: The Unsung Hero

Canned goods are a staple in my kitchen. They offer consistent quality, low prices, and a long shelf life. Plus, they’re great for backup when fresh ingredients are low. Some key canned items to keep on hand are:

- Pinto Beans

- Crushed Tomatoes

- Tomato Paste

- Tomato Sauce

- Boiled White Potatoes

- Herring or Sardines

- Tuna

- Fruit Cocktail

- Peaches

- Pears

- Broth or Stock

These ingredients can help you create filling and versatile meals on a budget.

6. Where You Shop Matters

The store you shop at can make a huge difference in food prices. Here’s how to stretch your budget even further:

Bulk Stores: Invest in a membership at places like Sam’s Club, Costco, or BJ’s. The $100 yearly fee is usually paid for in savings after just a few trips. Protein, especially beef and fish, is almost always cheaper in bulk stores.

Walmart and Aldi: These stores are great for extras like frozen veggies, fresh produce, dairy items, and baked goods. Their prices are hard to beat!

Hope this helps and feel free to reblog or comment with your own tips and tricks!

Stick to Your List: One of the easiest ways to overspend and waste food is by shopping without a plan. Make a list, and stick to it. This will help keep your budget in check and prevent unnecessary purchases.

By following these steps, you can keep your food costs down while still eating healthy and delicious meals. The key is planning ahead, shopping smart, and keeping a well-stocked pantry!

Fuck Canon Tiingilar

i hate the canon tiingilar recipe with my whole heart. Look at this (original source Galaxy's Edge cookbook). This is supposed to be "blisteringly spicy Mandalorian stew or casserole"? This is a mild chicken curry.

It sounds good, but it's not the rich, spicy, flavor-packed mandalorian stew of my dreams.

Let's start by breaking down the etymology of tiingilar.

Tiingilar is broken into 3 parts: Tiin, gi, and lar.

Tiin is an underived form of tiin'la, or coarse.

Gi is the word for fish.

Lar is a bit up in the air; it could be related to laar, for sing (which anyone who's seen someone bite into something spicier than they can handle can understand), or galar, for spill/pour (makes sense for stew), or even olar for "here", which I suppouse could be extrapolated to mean "whatever is here" for a stew which has flexible ingredients.

But the really important bits are the "tiin" and the "gi"! The first chunk of tiingilar means "coarse/rough fish(y)".

The other food word we have with "gi" in it from canon mando'a is "gihaal", (which, hilariously, breaks down into fish-breath), a pungent fishmeal. It's long lasting and stable which means its probably a staple ration food. It sounds like it'd put most people off at first, but given mandalorian tastes prioritize strong flavors (draluram), possibly including pungent flavors, and "richly nourishing" foods (yaiyai) it's probably a pretty common ingredient.

Guess what fishmeal is! A very high protein (typically 50-60%, but up to 70% for some varieties!), nutritionally dense, and coarsely textured! It's used in any cuisines; some is processed for human consumption but I cannot find any sources that use it in food except in research aiming to combat malnutrition (shout out to researchers at the Abeokuta University of Agriculture for being the best resource about fishmeal in food!). Although we can't know that gihaal would be the same as our version of fishmeal (which is normally processed from whole fish), I think that we can assume that mando'ade woudn't be skimping on the inclusion of bone, which include a lot of valuable nutrients, and would make it coarse.

So, gihaal is a pungent, likely coarse fishmeal that is a staple nutritional supplement in, at minimum, field cookery. It would make nutritionally-dense, protein packed, and strongly flavored base for tiingilar. Makes sense linguistically and practically for mandalorians to build their cooking around nutritionally valuable and shelf-stable rations.

Which brings me to the mandalorian values in food! Draluram (bright mouth: intense, bold flavors), heturam (spicy as in heat burning in the mouth), hetikleyc (spicy as in sinus burn), and yai'yai (richly nourishing, which I personally take to mean both nutritionally dense and satiating) are the 4 canon words that express the priorities in mandalorian cuisine.

These values fit in with the inclusion of gihaal as a base for tiingilar, adding yai'yai if not draluram, but where's my spice? Where's my layers of spice, the sharp sinus burn that makes your eyes water and the creeping warmth that leaves you panting and the bright heat and the numbing and tingling sensation at your lips?

Definitely not in that yellow curry recipe.

The inclusion of ginger and cinnamon (from garam masala) are both nice, but think bigger and broader! Obviously, we don't have mandalorian herbs, but add spice with chilies, cayenne, ginger, horseradish, mustard seeds, sichuan pepper! Bring out warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, star anise! Highlight the different elements of spice and warmth and flavor with enthusiasm and delight!

As for draluram, I think the pungent flavor of fish is a nice, bold addition to something for a unique flavor, but let's not forget other players. Aliums like garlic and onions are always lovely, but what about citrus? If mandalorians have behot, what's stopping you from adding in citrus juice or peel or some kaffir lime leaves? What about strong bitter flavors from vegetables you choose, like mustard greens or kale, or the rich savory taste of browned meats if you want more protein in your dish?

Yai'yai, we have a good base of protein and fat and nutritional content from the fishmeal, but why not build it out? Add sugar, both to balance flavors and because energy is energy and mandalorians certainly like their sweets. Fats and oils, other meats and proteins, vegetables and carbs. Add nuts, peanut butter, sesame for added bulk and another element of flavour. I want to see an end product that sticks to your ribs, that makes me skip seconds on not because I don't want more, but because I'm full on one serving.

Back to the etymology. Mild chicken curry is not tiin, nor does it have gi. It's fairly yai'yai, got decent draluram, negligible heturam, and no hetikleyc.

Tiingilar with a gihaal base (in irl cooking, any kind of fish base) and heavier seasoning to add multiple kinds of heat would fit all of those categories so much better.

So I guess in the end, I'm saying I don't have an idea of tiingilar as any one recipe, but tiingilar as a general dish that leans into mandalorian food culture and the literal meaning of the word. Maybe it's little gritty and somewhat fishy, but it's a rich and spicy and flavorful meal you can make with whatever on hand as long as you have a handful of staples.

Let's talk about Umbratras Part 3/?

Continuing with the line of posts (part 1 and part 2 here) about this species until there is enough lore to start the Umbratra AU the yandere Batfamily x Umbratra reader (either batmom or batsis), in this part we will explain very briefly (because it is not that important actually) how the Umbratras came to Earth and other curiosities of this species and this time I will do this in questions and answers format, to add more variety

So how did the Umbratras end up on Earth?

Although they were already living on a planet that was about to self-destruct (remember, Tenebrae Prime was an extremely old planet) they had no way to escape from the planet and its impending end, (sure, they had magic, but not advanced knowledge of what to do with all that power and potential they had), they left their home planet thanks to "outside help"

Which basically means that a more technologically advanced alien species came to Tenebrae Prime and took the few resources left on the planet (the Umbratras were also considered resources); which means that this species was forcibly removed from its home planet by a superior alien species of conquistadors (but talking about them is a topic for another post)

These aliens initially tried to use the umbratras as food, but when they saw that they were more valuable as for labor than as food (the truth is that in the end they were not completely convinced by the "flavor") and thanks to the umbratras' ability to imitate, over the millennia, they made a name for themselves in the new alien society to which they belonged until they were finally seen as one of them instead of second-class citizens or slaves.

So over time the umbratras and the other alien species went and looked for other planets with resources either to conquer, colonize or control and that last thing is the reason why the umbratras are on Earth

Thanks to their mimicry abilities and high adaptability, they were tasked with patiently beginning to take control of planet Earth and its most intelligent species (humans) so the Umbratra throughout the history of humanity have infiltrated all circles of power all over the world to control humanity (insert any conspiracy theory here, just say an Umbratra did it and in this AU it might be true)

What do umbratras taste like?

Literally nothing, that's why it's not fun to eat them

Why are they called vampires?

That's the name that humans gave them, but they prefer the name that the Kryptonians gave them and that the other alien species later told them that was what they were called (they like Umbratra better because it sounds more mystical)

Why do they like the gothic style?

That was the fashion they imposed when they already had enough control over human tendencies, for them that is the coolest thing that exists (it is not a phase, it is a lifestyle)

Is it true that garlic is harmful to them?

No, but they don't like the smell of garlic and if possible they will try to get away from the source of the smell, even so they can eat food with garlic as long as they don't smell it

Can they eat human food?

Yes, although for pure umbratras human food has no nutritional value and they only eat it to keep up appearances, but in the case of umbratra-human hybrids, human food can feed them but does not increase their magical power

Are they afraid of crosses?

No, but it is something they invented and pretended they were afraid of in order to make humans feel that they had a way to defend themselves from them, the same with holy water or items

Why were they not reflected in mirrors?

This is a misunderstanding, in reality, umbratras are not reflected in silver, in ancient times mirrors were made of silver and it was for this reason that there was a time when it was easier to detect an umbratra/vampire, using mirrors

Why do they drink human blood?

Human blood is the closest thing, not to say that it is exactly the same as the liquid that the Sanguivium flowers produce and that was the main and only source of food for the Umbratras when they inhabited their home planet

Can they only transform into bats?

No, although this animal transformation is their signature transformation (it is literally the first animal transformation they used when they came to Earth) as long as they drink the blood or consume the animal they wish to transform into, they will take its form, although the color of the animal will coordinate with the hair color they have chosen for their human form

Why do they sleep in coffins?

At first, when they were adapting, they used cemeteries or caves as homes to go unnoticed, they would hide in coffins and pretend to be dead in their resting graves (also in cases where they needed to take naps for decades, they would pretend to die and be buried during their resting periods). In the end, it became something cultural for them and they continued doing it (plus it matched the gothic style they created and like so much)

Do they need oxygen or to breathe?

No, umbratras don't even have lungs and some of their hybrids don't need to breathe either, but they pretend to do so

I think that's all for now, see you in the next part or if you have more questions and curiosities I will make another post with this style to solve them

Fellow vampire enjoyers, kink-havers, and enthusiasts, I have a question for you.

We all know that in most lore, human blood straight from the veins is preferable as far as vampiric nutrition is concerned. Where do most of us stand on menstrual blood? Does it have nutritional value or would most vampires hate it? I see a lot of period sex vampire stories but never see anyone actually discussing this.

[painedpen]

Okay so I’ve mentioned before that I’m rewriting the Twilight Saga. One of the things I’m completely changing is the traits of the Vampire species. I’m gonna list everything I’m gonna change below, and I want y’all to give me your thoughts.

Vampires and Blood:

Like in the original series, human blood holds far more nutritional value than animal blood. The main difference is: the more blood they drink, the more alive they seem. Their bodies will start to grow warm, their cheeks will regain color. If they manage to drink enough, their hearts will start to beat very slowly.

Vampires and the Sun:

There’s no sparkling. What the hell was that even about? However, the sun doesn’t immediately turn them to dust, either. Basically, being in the sun will quickly dry out all the blood a vampire may have in their veins. The longer they stay in the sun, the more dead they seem. It’s practically the exact opposite effect from consuming blood. In addition, a vampire will start to have symptoms relating to heat stroke, until they eventually die.

Vampires and Garlic:

Vampires do, in fact, have an aversion to garlic! However, instead of garlic cloves, its garlic flowers. Again, not an instant death sentence, but very uncomfortable. The scent that garlic flowers give off will give vampires a burning sensation in their nose, mouth, eyes, and lungs. The pain is severe enough to make a newborn vampire abandon a hunt.

Vampires and Mirrors/Pictures:

The myth that vampires couldn’t be seen in mirrors or pictures was once true. This is because mirrors and lenses used to be backed with silver, which was considered a “pure” metal. However, as this is no longer the case, vampires can clearly be seen in mirrors and pictures.

Vampires and Sleep:

Vampires are able to sleep, but it gives them no sense of rest or rejuvenation. It’s much like breathing in that sense. Many vampires choose to sleep to pass the time, or for comfort. However, just as many vampires choose not to sleep at all.

Vampires and Invitations:

Like in many old myths, vampires cannot enter a home without being invited inside. Instead of any physical barriers, though, it’s more of a psychological aversion. For some reason, it’s in a vampire’s instinct not to enter without an invitation. If a person were to say, “you are always welcome here”, they would be able to enter any time. I’ve done this for the sole reason of avoiding the stalker plot line.

Okay tell me what you guys think. I might update this later if I remember something, or find something else I’d like to change.

Aigo Bouido

Aigo Bouido, or “boiled water” originates from the peasant traditions of Provence. A simple broth made from medicinal garlic and sage, it can include additions such as olive oil, grated cheese, poached eggs and rustic bread. This healing soup is perfect for colds.

Sage known for its antioxidants and high nutritional value may help with oral health by destroying bacteria. Garlic has proven medicinal properties helping with the effects of the flu and common cold.

Ever since I discovered this recipe in Soups (The Good Cook, techniques and recipes) by Time-Life books, I crave it when I have a sore throat and/or upper respiratory illness.

Ingredients:

4 cups water

1 tsp salt (if desired)

12 clove garlic,peeled and lightly mashed

2 bay leaves

1 sprig sage or 1/4 tsp of dried

1 1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano,freshly grated or gruyere cheese freshly grated

Directions:

Pour water into a medium (3qt) saucepan,add salt and garlic.Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil.Cook for 10 minutes.

Add bay leaves,sage and a tablespoon of the olive oil ,and cook an additional 10 minutes.

Remove from from heat,cover and let stand for 10 minutes.Strain. Discard garlic buds and herbs. Place a slice of dayold (stale) bread in each heated bowl, cover with large helping of cheese. Sprinkle with remaining olive oil.

Added poached eggs if you desire to make it more filling.

Edit: I prefer 1/2 tsp salt.

[vibrantveganvalue]

Vegan "cheese"

1 cup raw cashews

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

1 tsp. garlic powder

1tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp. kosher salt.

Combine in a small blender or food processor. Pulse until a medium course texture is achieved. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

The Importance of Quality Ingredients in Pizza and Pasta Sauces

When it comes to creating a delicious pizza or a mouth-watering bowl of pasta, the secret often lies in the sauce.  A well-crafted pizza or pasta sauce can transform a simple dish into a gourmet experience.  In fact, the sauce is often the defining feature of these dishes, bringing together all the other ingredients into a harmonious and flavorful bite.  As a leading pizza pasta sauce manufacturer in India, Modern Food Products understands the crucial role that high-quality ingredients play in creating the perfect sauce.

In this blog, we will explore why quality ingredients matter in pizza and pasta sauces, how the food processing industry in Vadodara is contributing to this sector, and why Modern Food Products stands out as the best food product company in Vadodara.

The Role of Sauce in Pizza and Pasta

Pizza and pasta are two of the most popular dishes around the world, and a lot of that popularity comes from the sauces that are used in them.  Whether it's the tangy marinara sauce on a pizza or a creamy Alfredo sauce on a bowl of fettuccine, the sauce is what ties all the flavors together.

For Pizza:

In pizza, the sauce forms the foundation of the flavor profile.  It interacts with the cheese, meats, vegetables, and crust, ensuring that each bite is rich and flavorful.  A poor-quality sauce can overwhelm the other ingredients or leave the pizza tasting flat.  That is why choosing a pizza sauce made from fresh tomatoes, aromatic herbs, and quality spices is essential.

For Pasta:

Pasta sauces play a similar role, enhancing the flavor of the noodles and other toppings.  Whether it is a robust tomato-based sauce, a rich and creamy sauce, or an olive oil-based creation, the right ingredients can elevate the pasta to a new level of deliciousness.  A well-made sauce should coat the pasta perfectly, infusing each bite with its flavors while complementing the texture of the pasta itself.

Why Quality Ingredients Matter in Pizza and Pasta Sauces

The ingredients used in pizza and pasta sauces can make or break the dish.  The difference between a mediocre sauce and an exceptional one lies in the quality of the ingredients.  Here is why:

1.         Flavor

High-quality ingredients provide a depth of flavor that cannot be replicated with inferior products.  For instance, using fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes in a pizza sauce will impart a rich, natural sweetness that complements the acidity, whereas canned or processed tomatoes can taste flat or metallic.  Similarly, using freshly ground herbs and spices rather than dried, stale ones ensures that the sauce bursts with flavor.

2.         Texture

Texture is just as important as flavor in pizza and pasta sauces.  A good sauce should have a smooth, consistent texture that coats the pizza crust or pasta evenly.  Poor-quality ingredients can result in sauces that are too watery, too thick, or gritty.  Using high-quality olive oil, ripe tomatoes, and fresh garlic can create a sauce with the perfect balance of thickness and smoothness.

3.         Nutritional Value

Quality ingredients not only taste better, but they are also better for you.  Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which contribute to better overall health.  In contrast, sauces made with low-quality, processed ingredients often contain added sugars, artificial flavors, and preservatives that can be detrimental to health.

4.         Natural Colors and Aromas

There is something irresistible about the sight and smell of a freshly made pizza or pasta dish.  Quality ingredients, like fresh basil, garlic, and sun-ripened tomatoes, enhance the visual appeal and aroma of the dish, making it more appetizing.  Natural ingredients produce vibrant colors and authentic smells, unlike artificial additives that can look and smell unappealing.

5.         Consistency in Taste

Using premium ingredients ensures that every batch of sauce tastes just as good as the last.  This consistency is especially important for food manufacturers and restaurants, as customers expect the same level of quality with every dish they order.  By using top-notch ingredients, you ensure that your pizza and pasta sauces maintain a consistent, delicious taste.

The Food Processing Industry in Vadodara and Its Impact

Vadodara, located in the heart of Gujarat, has become a hub for the food processing industry in India.  The food processing industry in Vadodara is known for its ability to produce a wide range of high-quality food products, from sauces to condiments and everything in between.  As a major player in this industry, Modern Food Products takes pride in being a leading pizza pasta sauce manufacturer in India.

Innovation and Technology

Vadodara's food processing industry is characterized by its use of cutting-edge technology and adherence to strict quality standards.  This ensures that the sauces produced here meet international food safety standards while retaining their authentic taste.  Advanced techniques such as cold pressing, vacuum sealing, and aseptic packaging help preserve the natural flavors and nutritional content of the ingredients, allowing the sauces to taste fresh even after prolonged storage.

Sourcing Locally

One of the unique strengths of the food processing industry in Vadodara is its ability to source high-quality, fresh ingredients locally.  By working closely with local farmers and producers, companies like Modern Food Products can ensure that their sauces are made from the freshest tomatoes, herbs, and spices, which translates into a superior product.

Why Modern Food Products Stands Out

At Modern Food Products, we have always prioritized quality in everything we do.  As one of the best food product companies in Vadodara, we understand that our success is directly tied to the quality of the ingredients we use. Here is what sets us apart:

3.         Commitment to Quality Control

We follow rigorous quality control procedures at every stage of production, from ingredient sourcing to packaging.  Our sauces are tested for taste, texture, and consistency to ensure that they meet our high standards.  This commitment to quality is one of the reasons why we are considered the best food product company in Vadodara.

4.         Customer Satisfaction

Our goal is to provide our customers with sauces that not only taste great but also enhance the overall dining experience.  Whether you are a restaurant looking for a reliable supplier of pizza and pasta sauces or a home cook who demands the best, Modern Food Products is dedicated to meeting your needs with premium products.

ok heres what i did for dinner tn. nutritional value is negligible but. ravioli. sauce of olive oil, butter, garlic powder (we’re out of garlic n im trying not to let it ruin my weekend), red pepper flakes and cheese. but the kicker is that once i strained the pasta i put the heat back on the sauce until it was sizzling and laid the ravioli on it flat for like a couple minutes so it got a little CRISPY it got a little CRUNCH. more cheese. salt. a good time to be had by all.
