I made homemade 4-cheese ravioli tonight and it was enough to pack some in a box and freeze a few for later.
They’re drizzled with melted salvia butter and cherry tomatos. More tomatos and some slices of zucchini as decoration (I’m going on vacation next week - not many greens in the house!). As dessert there’s [...]

I harvested my first homegrown zucchini today!
A piece of it is in this bento, stuffed with risotto. Then there’s triangles of rosemary polenta, ratatouille, some salad leaves and grapes for dessert.
The BF has the same, with polenta cut into hearts (I’m soppy…):
The cutouts are hidden underneath the ratatouille.
The ratatouille and polenta are leftovers from yesterday; [...]

The recipe is stolen from a restaurant here - it’s one of my favourite dishes there.
