Pasta! we bought a pasta maker! and instead of rolling it all out by hand, we've got a nice manual crank to do the job. $20! what a deal! I'm still in love with this thing, and here are some recent creations. We've made ravioli filled with lobster, buttercup squash, mushroom+ricotta as well as linguini. Sure it does take up time, but its a great way to socialize while cooking together with family and friends. And the texture and taste is incomparable!
makign the pasta dough, we've used this recipe. we found semolina (durum) flour at bulk barn, although most large grocery stores should carry it also.
rolling the dough out is a lot harder than you'd think, without a pasta maker.
we made our filling, and portioned it off. having random ravioli shapes adds personality =]
we seal off the edge with the edges of our forks
and voila! mushroom ravioli with a sundried tomato sauce.
and one out-of-focus photo of our ricotta-squash linguine topped with pea shoots and panchetta.
