NaBloPoMo: Tasty Thursday

For NaBloPoMo Day 7 I got the idea from Shredded Cheddar blog. The idea is to post recipes inspired by the current book your reading. I deviated from this and am posting Twilight themed recipes. I'm not reading Twilight at the moment, but thats ok. Below are some dishes that Bella ate in Twilight. She has the mushroom ravioli on her first informal date with Edward in Port Angeles. Bella had the Garden Burger for dinner after her first day of school at Forks High at the local diner with her Dad. Then she has the Spinach Salad for dinner again at the diner with her Dad the evening before the big make out session with Edward in her room.

I'm not sure all these dishes are in the book but they are all in the movie. Enjoy! 

Feel free to post your Tasty Thursday posts in the comment section below. And if you have any meme ideas leave the link in the comments too!

  • 1 lb. shelled fresh or frozen edamame
  • 8 oz. fresh goat cheese, room temperature

Cook edamame in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain. Transfer to processor. Add both cheeses; process until smooth. Transfer to strainer set over large bowl. Press mixture through strainer with spatula (solids may remain in strainer). Season filling with salt. Cover and chill until firm, about 4 hours.

Line baking sheet with waxed paper. Place 1 goyza wrapper on work surface. Place 1 tablespoon filling on wrapper. Brush edges with glaze; fold over and seal. Transfer to sheet. Repeat with remaining wrappers, filling, and glaze.

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Cook until brown, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, working in batches, cook ravioli in large pot of boiling salted water until ravioli rise to surface, about 3 minutes. Cook 1 minute longer. Using slotted spoon, drain ravioli well and transfer to skillet with sauce.

Toss ravioli gently over medium heat to coat and rewarm sauce. Divide ravioli and sauce among 6 shallow bowls, top with shaved parmesan cheese; serve.
