homemade ravioli & bread

wednesday night we had people over for dinner.

i have been wanting to mae some kind of homemade pasta,

in hopes that i get good at it, then get the pasta attachement for the kitchenaid.

anyways, this was the perfect day to make the ravioli.

i had started the starter for the bread.

then we went mountain biking, and i will have to upload those pics from cameron's phone later, but i kicked some serious bootay!!!!!

anyways, we got home and i made the ravioli, i used emeril's

recipe for the dough, but filled it with my own homemade idea...

and i will have to say, although it took awhile,

it tasted GOOD!!!!!

i satueed:

mushrooms, eggplant, garlic in EVOO

then when i put it inside the rav's i added goatcheese!

*chop/dice the above reallllllyyyyy small, so inside the rav it's easy to eat and not super chunky

the raviolis!!!!

so you just roll the dough out really thin;

then put in little scoops of filling,

then brush egg around the filling,

then put another piece of dough over it

make sure it is sealed really well,

then use a pizza roll slicer thing to cut up

(i was able to make 27 raviolis with this recipe)

(fed 4 adults + 1 kid)

(but i would have liked some for left overs AND to freeze?!?!?!)

it's soooo messy!!!!!


boil in salted boiling water for about 5 minutes,
then voila!!!
i made a garlic/butter sauce for them, i coulda added cream to it
and it woulda been better, but i had no cream.




the french bread, soooo good!!!

so i didnt take a picture of the whole dinner,
but it was good!
i think i will make it again when we can sit, relax, talk, and drink some good wine!
