Ravioli from scratch

Sunday is a pasta day. I was thinking about this pasta for the whole morning at work, and ever since I invested 24 quid in a pasta maker, Florian grew fond of playing with it and we come together as a team to produce some gooooood foooood!

I buy the type 00 flour for the pasta, according to Jamie Oliver’s recommendation, only 2 quid in Carluccio’ s , bargain…:-) Florian makes the pasta, entirely, all the credit goes to him, he experiments with whether to use 1 egg and water or 2 eggs and no water and has patience to ” iron ” it through the machine repeatedly. It is worth it though.

We stuffed ravioli with the mixture of ground walnuts, ricotta, garlic, basil and seasoning. The sauce I made was suggested by Good Food mag, single cream, garlic and mixed fresh herbs ( Florian was not happy with the dill ). It was not bad, but I think next time it will be chopped fried pancetta, simple and meaty.

The whole thing looked like that…
