My parents and I enjoyed this cute and delicious meal. I planned the concept several years ago but finally got around to making it. If I made the exact same meal again the only thing I would change is to add a garnish of face and body details to the gingerbread men.

Ravioli: I used my favorite pasta dough, filling – Ricotta, Asiago, Parmesan, salt and pepper, (I made and put in freezer), boiled just before serving, served with an apple cider reduction (apple cider boiled until reduced).

Shaved Parmesan Brussels Sprouts: I somewhat followed this. I chopped the brussels sprouts in a food processor and didn’t use the panko. Garnished with Parmesan cheese and toasted pecans.
