<p>Recipe for 2</p>
<p>6 Mushroom Raviolis (can buy at any specialty grocery store)</p>
<p>2 Thin slices Prosciutto, diced</p>
<p>2 Tablespoons shaved parmesan</p>
<p>4 ounces heavy cream</p>
<p>Black truffles</p>
<p>1 Brussel sprout, leaves separated</p>
<p>salt and white pepper to your&nbsp;taste</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Get a pot of hot water boiling for your pasta and a&nbsp;saute pan hot with a little olive oil. Add your prosciutto and cook until it just starts to brown, then drop your pasta into the boiling water. Add your cream to the ham and reduce to half, add the parmesan.</p>
<p>Add the cooked&nbsp;pasta to the cream and toss, on a plate lay them in a line and spoon the sauce on each one. Add the&nbsp;brussel sprouts to the&nbsp;hot&nbsp;water&nbsp;for 2 seconds and place on the pasta. Shave&nbsp;fresh truffles on top.</p>
<p>Now&nbsp;if you don't want to pay the high $$ for truffles you can drizzle with truffle oil.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

Everything goes in a bowl and just make sure to mix all the ingredients well. I have a couple easy ones here, and you probably have all the items at home already.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Spicy Rub&nbsp; </strong></p>
<p><strong>Chili Powder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 cup</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ground Cumin&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1/2 cup</strong></p>
<p><strong>Garlic Powder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;1/4 cup</strong></p>
<p><strong>Dried Oregeno Leaves&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2 Tablespoons</strong></p>
<p><strong>Red Ground Pepper&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 Tablespoon</strong></p>
<p>This would be great with chicken wings or a pork tenderloin, for the chicken wings I would let marinate in the rub&nbsp;for a couple hours but the pork I would add it to the meat just before i seared it in a hot pan.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>West Indian Rub</strong></p>
<p><strong>Curry Powder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1/2 cup</strong></p>
<p><strong>Garlic Powder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1/4 cup</strong></p>
<p><strong>Black Ground Pepper&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1/4 cup</strong></p>
<p><strong>Salt&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1/4 cup</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ground Ginger&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3 Tablespoons</strong></p>
<p><strong>Red Ground Pepper&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1 Tablespoon</strong></p>
<p>This rub would be ideal for Shrimp, Chicken, Salmon or Lamb.</p>
