when i was in boston this summer visiting kara and her family, we went to a street fair in little italy and got some amazing ravioli, it was the size of my palm and really tender! so i got back to utah and started reading eat, pray, love where the author writes about eating in italy. i decided to only cook italian for dinner from now on. i have been experimenting and making some yummy creations. i wanted to make ravioli and the only kind not frozen i could find was small and not very good. so i googled and found this website http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Make-Homemade-Ravioli and it showed me step by step with pictures how to make it. im gonna recap how i followed the directions here!
ingredients:
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
5 egg yolks
about a cup of water
i put the flour and salt in a bowl and made a hole in the top, then added the beaten egg yolks and mixed with my hands. slowly added water until i could kneed it. kneed for 10 min then set in fridge covered for 20 min. then i took off baseball size chunks and rolled out on a floured surface, flipping over every few rolls. then i cut the circles with a large drinking glass that was wet on the edges. then i made the filling
ingredients:
1 beaten egg
italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic
1 tbs minced onion
2 cups mozzerella chesse
1 cup parmesean cheese
1 cup spinach i wilted in butter on the stove
add about a tbs of mixture to center of circle and rub a little bit of egg around the edges before covering it with another circle and pushing the edges together.
you can freeze these to use at a later time or boil that day. boil for about 5-7 minutes if frozen or 2-3 minutes if not. these were easy to make but took a very long time! feel free to fill with whatever you can fit inside:)
