Zo wanted to make us dinner and who was I to say no? I'd been working on the house all day and did not mind that I would get to relax at all! You may be wondering why we just did not go out to eat or get some take out? Well, since we have bought the house we have eaten at every place we like in Reno, twice. Believe me that is alot of places! So after 3 months of eating out we are fed up and want some home cooked meals. We finally just looked at one another and decided no matter what we are doing on the house we will stop, take a break, and make dinner. Most of our meals have been pretty simple lately but that does not mean that every now and then we don't accidentally make something great! We originally made this sauce to go over some mushroom and cheese ravioli but it was so good by itself, I decided to toss it up here for everyone else to enjoy, so enjoy!
