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…

One thought on “Ravioli from scratch”

  1. Bollocks to Carluccio’s flour! Last Sunday Florian used the regular plain flour and pasta was lovely. And it didn’t cost 36 000 quid per kilo.
