Ravioli with savory pumpkin sauce AND Spinach salad with mushrooms and red onion

The ravioli with savory pumpkin sauce was ridiculously easy to make. It was a lot less spicy than most of the dishes we've made thus far but it was really a comforting dish. I mean really, who does''t like pumpkin and nutmeg? My notes in the cookbook are to add a bit more nutmeg next time around. Of course, cooking the pasta to just 'al dente' is smart -- finish the ravioli in the sauce just like with any other pasta.

The spinach salad with mushrooms and red onion had all the makings of another great salad compliments of Ellie Krieger. We still enjoyed it but in all honesty I bought the mushrooms on Tuesday and they were pretty dried out. I also bought a red onion that was far too large. The recipe calls for 1/2 of a small red onion and that's good advice. Don't get me wrong -- the salad was still wonderful. It went really well with the savory ravioli dish too.
