Monterey Gourmet Foods & A $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway
Josh and I love to cook and usually make dinner together every night.
Life gets busy though, especially with a new baby, and there are some nights when we don’t have the time or energy to cook an elaborate meal.
It is too hard for us to go out to eat with little Caleb, so we need fast and easy options we can enjoy in the home for those busy, tired nights. We recently discovered Monterey Gourmet Foods, and we are in love. Monterey Gourmet Foods has a variety of pastas and sauces that are easy to make and delicious to eat.
Last week, Josh got home late from work and I wasn’t in the mood to cook, so we got out a package of Monterey Gourmet Foods Creamy Ricotta Florentine for dinner. The ravioli is a delicious blend of spinach, Parmesan, mozzarella, ricotta, and asiago cheeses. The ravioli is made with organic semolina flour and eggs from free-range chickens. The ravioli only takes 4-5 minutes to cook.
We served the ravioli with homemade marinara sauce we had in the freezer, but don’t worry, if you don’t make your own sauces. Monterey Gourmet Foods has a whole product line of pastas, sauces and pestos you can choose from. They are as delicious as if they were cooked from scratch in your kitchen.
We also added a simple salad and bread and had a gourmet meal in a matter of minutes.
Monterey Gourmet Foods Pastas and Sauces are all naturalñthe company follows 8 strict all natural principles so you can be assured you are offering the highest quality food for your family.
They have a full product line of pastas and sauces for those nights you just don’t have the time or energy to cook dinner.
Monterey Gourmet Foods pastas and sauces are also great for entertaining. You can make an impressive meal for your guests without all of the hard work. Your guests will think you made the pasta and sauces from scratch. Your secret is safe with us:)

Mmm, ravioli!
I would make a baked pasta dish for a few friends who just had babies. It would make a really easy and transportable dinner. The olive tapenade also looks really good. I would like to try that as well
I would make that ravioli because it looks really good!
This pasta looks so good! I would love to make some ravioli or manicotti with some homemade roasted tomato sauce
Wow everything looks so yummy on their website! I would make Chicken Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes Ravioli or maybe Three Cheese Broccoli Tortelloni. Seriously though, everything looked super yummy. Life is Good
I would make a wonderful butternut squash pasta dish! Yum!!
I tweeted about the giveaway!

That ravioli looks amazing! I would make anything that was easy to make–which looks like everything, because I’m getting married this summer and would like to impress my new hubby with my “cooking.”
I would definitely go for the spinach ravioli, served with marinara. Simple, classic, and easy! Can’t beat that on a work night.
I would love to try the butternut squash ravioli. Sounds wonderful!
I would layer the creamy ricotta forentine with marinara sauce in a skillet, add some fresh mozarella to the top, and simmer on the stove top until everything “married” into a stovetop lasagna. this would be a perfect Sunday night supper with a light salad and a glass of red wine.
The Chicken Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes Ravioli looks delicious.
Pesto pizza with the artichoke pesto! Yum
I love giveaways, they’re so much fun! Love today’s post, the food looks amazing!
I would make the three cheese broccoli tortelloni with my homemade pomodoro sauce. Yum!
Hi Maria,
Thank you for your giveaway. As a nanny and busy part time student those pastas would make a a quick delicious meal for me! I would make my kids favorite spaghetti pizza casserole and top it off with the summer pasta sauce, and fresh grated mozzarella!
Smoked Mozzarella & Artichoke Ravioli with the Hearty Garden Marinara Sauce looks wonderful!
The ravioli with marinara sauce looks delicious!
Pizza caprese
I would love to try their pesto. Adding pesto to sandwiches is a recent and delicious new habit!
I would make the ravioli…
I would make the The butternut squash ravioli with a brown butter sage sauce. YUM!
I would make a baked ziti that would knock your socks off! Or maybe a pesto pasta…
Shrimp, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese!
chicken, broccoli, mushroom with roasted red pepper pesto served over oat bran pasta or quinoa. I’m thinking pine nuts and garlic in the quinoa. and crushed red pepper for heat.
That butternut squash ravioli looks delicious – I think I’d start there
We love pasta as well! My fav is butternut squash ravioli with a bechamel sauce with a hint of allspice. Yum!
I’d make ravioli with alfredo sauce and garlic sprinkled with some parmesan cheese
I hate to make homemade pasta sauce. For some reason my sauce never tastes as good as I want it to. I’d love to use their sauce for all my italian meals!
I think the ravioli looks wonderful but the cheese would make me sick so I will have to go with the marinara sauce.
i’d try to make manicotti
Definitely served with pesto. Yum!

I’d make the butternut squash ravioli with a sage and butter sauce with cracked black peppercorns to finish!
We’re a ravioli family!!! That’s what we’d make!!
the ravioli looked delicious… bet it would taste great as a toasted ravioli appetizer!
I would make the butternut ravioli, although all of their foods look amazingly delicious!
I would use the pesto for so many different things-cheesy pesto garlic bread, pesto pasta, the choices are sort of endless!!
Wow !!!! Lots of choices when one has a kid at home who just loves Pasta!!!! I would love to taste the Roasted Garlic Chicken Ravioli !!!!
It all looks so delicious!
