Is it Tuesday already? Nah, it’s Thursday. Don’t worry, you’re not going crazy. Now you know something’s cookin’ when I post more than once a week in the summer time.
It’s pasta! Really good pasta. And a chance to win some.
Up until this week, I had never entered a food contest. But when Pasta Prima came calling, I became weak. Ravioli stuffed with butternut squash? What about mushrooms? Or chicken and mozzarella? They would have sent me the samples regardless of whether I entered the competition, but their product is so flavorful, fresh, and good, it wasn’t too much of a struggle to create something yummy enough to submit.
I’m not, however, going to make a habit of it. Unless, of course, they want to give me a lifetime supply. And then I am in. I am so in.
Here’s my entry…which wasn’t even going to be my entry. Until Paul, who doesn’t care for mushrooms, said “Wow, Ame. That’s really good.” That was all I needed. Honestly, I loved it. Looooved it. Whether the folks at Pasta Prima agree remains to be seen. Wish me luck!
Here’s your chance to win some Pasta Prima samples…the recipe is on the house ;-)

I’d most like to try Grilled Chicken and Mozzarella Ravioli Family Size :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!
I would want to try the mushroom and the lobster. I make a very simple garlic cream sauce that would be amazing with both. Or I would do a brown butter.
I just checked out the Pasta Prmia varieties and they all look wonderful… but those Butternut Squash ravs grabbed my attn right away… would love to try them with some brown butter and sage sauce… yum for sure.
The butternut squash looks so yummy and cute too!
i’d like to try the butternut squash ravioli!
These all sound great, and I love the sound of your asparagus-and-cream topping! Since I’m a sucker for butternut squash, I’d have to say the thought of Pasta Prima’s organic butternut squash ravioli had my mouth watering a little. I can imagine tossing it with some roasted broccoli and fresh Parmesan. Yum!
I like Prima Pasta on FB
Grilled chicken and Mozzarella for me!
Be still my beating heart. Mushrooms & cream? *swoon*
Love you, Lady.
Oh, I ‘spose I should enter to win some of that luscious pasta too, though, huh?
I’m such a sucker for mushrooms, you know I’d want the portabella ravioli, right?
First off, all three sound delicious, I love grilled chicken with mozzarella, it is my standby favorite, but with Fall around the corner, the Butternut Squash sounds sooooooooooo delish ! Since I am the poster woman for “Carbs” …..I guess I will have to try all three ! YUM!
Me, me, me Pick me!! They all look good. The chicken and mushroom looks wonderful, so does the wild mushroom and the lobster. I don’t know can I pick two? or three?
Wow, the Grilled Chicken and Mozzarella ravioli sounds divine!
AND, I just liked your FB page! I’m glad I found this through Foodie With Family today…
I’ve always loved the spinach and mozzarella but I would love to try the lobster ravioli!
See to those of us who live and breathe for the days you post and hang on your every word when you DO…two posts in one week is like a godsend. so would be some of their butternut squash ravioli…fo real.
It would have to be their lobster ravioli. (Their site wouldn’t open either, FB stinks!!) Costco carries their brand. I’ve also tried the chicken & mozzarella which is also, VERY GOOD!! When we were in Vegas, we tried pumpkin ravioli, which would take your breath away!!! (It wasn’t Pasta Prima)
I want to try the Butternut Squash! I love the stripes!
Libby
Good luck Amy!!!!! (the link FINALLY opened!!)
Wild Mushroom please. What are you and Rebecca on the same wavelength today? Your giving away pasta, she’s giving away mushrooms! I love you both for it!!!
Now I have to go leave a message on FB cause I love pasta that much!
Mmm! That looks so good! I checked out Pasta Prima’s site and I’m torn between the wild mushroom and the butternut squash (with those funky red stripes!). I’d love to try this product. =)
I’m always a big fan of butternut squash ravioli but the wild mushroom one sounds absolutely amazing as well!
I would love to try the Gluten Free Five Cheese ravioli. Since I have celiacs, this would be awesome! And I think my husband would love it too, which is important! :-)
