Yeah for homemade ravioli...I've always wanted to try it, but I'm a chicken.
It was pretty labor intensive, but I had company over and we made it a team effort :). It was pretty fun, and really tasty.
Yum, homemade ravioli and double yum fresh grown basil!!!!! What did you use for filler (I don't like spinach except when it's a filler for something like that, but always interested to hear what other do!) Did you use a pasta machine to make your ravioli? My husband (a chef) likes Giada DeLaurentiis' short cut of using pre-made wontons.
Kristen,
For the filling we actually went simple and just used a three cheese: ricotta/mozzarella/parmesan and fresh herbs: parsley/basil/oregano filling. I wanted to be able to have the leftovers on Friday, but the meat sauce was wonderful :).
Yes, we used the pasta rollers from the Kitchenaid, which made it go rather quickly, and then folded the sheets over and cut with a pizza roller.
I never would've thought to use wontons! Ingenious!
Mmm! Homemade ravioli sounds great! Awesome success, in my book!
