Ravioli Florentine
“Noblesville Schools in Indiana has a new mushroom recipe featured on the Elementary menus this semester! We had ravioli w/ red sauce on the menu 1st semester and decided to give it a makeover using alfredo sauce, spinach, and mushrooms! Everyone was skeptical at first, but it is actually turning out to be a huge hit and the talk of the town! We sampled at one school first before menuing and the kids were asking for 2nds and 3rds!” ~Christine Stinson
