The Pursuit Of Happiness: Week In Review
Saturday (299)What an event (read: full day process of trial and error and experimenting) ravioli making can be. About six months ago, my cousin Rachel and I both bought kitchenmaid attachment ravioli makers on super sale to make our homemade pasta making more creative and easy. Fast forward to this week. Both of our attachments were still sitting pretty and untouched in the unopened box they came in. Each time I walk into my kitchen, it stares at me. And, thus I was determined to use it. So I invited Rachel over to finally make us of one of our ravioli attachments. And it worked...okay. But the overall result was fantastic.
We decided to make butternut squash & gorgonzola ravioli, using homemade pasta dough. In the end it was good life choice, but we had some extreme doubts as we went through the process. Unbelievably, it has been almost a year since I last made homemade pasta, so my dough making game was a bit off. Rachel and I had to make two batches of dough before we got it right (note to self: mixing all of the different excess flours you have leftover in your pantry is not always the smartest of ideas). Our good batch use pasta flour, solely.
