Ravioli with Spinach and Shrimp

 Tonight was Jake's turn to cook dinner. So he took 4 cheese ravioli that was in the fridge ($1.69 at grocery outlet) and a bag of frozen shrimp, again bought at grocery outlet for $3.99.

  Here is what he did he took 2 tbs olive oil and added 3 tbs butter, along with fresh basil, oregano, chives,  4 chopped cloves garlic, a pinch of saffron, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, he cooked it for about 1 minute, then added 1/3 cup white wine. Meanwhile he had a large pot of water boiling. He cooked that for  2 minutes, then added 1 tsp lemon pepper, and, salt he let it simmer. When he dropped the pasta, he added the shrimp to the pan of sauce. He cooked the shrimp just until it was opaque. Then he added some chopped fresh spinach, then let it wilt. Finally he added the pasta, mixed to combine it along with a ladle full of the pasta water. He garnished with some Parmesan cheese.
