Cheese Ravioli

This was my first attempt at ravioli with my new pasta toys: the KitchenAid pasta roller, which I reviewed earlier, and the Norpro ravioli maker. I couldn’t believe how much easier it was compared to my first attempt in Ravioli with Sarah.

First, I made the basic pasta dough and rolled it out with the pasta roller.


Then, I made ravioli shapes using the Norpro ravioli maker. You can find step-by-step instructions for how to use the ravioli maker here.


Next, I filled the ravioli with cheese filling (the recipe for this is at the end of the post).


After the ravioli had dried sufficiently, it was time to cook them. Add them to boiling water for 7-8 minutes.




Some of the ravioli burst open while cooking, but the ones that held it together were mighty tasty!

PASTA: Basic Pasta Dough


A little while ago a friend gave me a bottle of garlic infused grape seed oil to try. The fragrant aromas remind me of Italian food and what is more Italian than pasta! I used this oil in the dough recipe below and it turned out fabulous!

PASTA: Bread’s Unleavened Cousin


Bread and pasta must be related because both are predominantly made of flour. Homemade pasta seems like a natural addition to my blog and it is something that I’ve always wanted to try.

FUN FACT: There are hundreds of different shapes of pasta!

My friend, Sarah, and I have been talking about making ravioli for a while and we finally got around to doing it.
