Ravioli Challenge

I ran into some friends on The Square one night, and I'd yet to invite this particular set to dinner. One was tied up on the target date, but the other was up for the event. After discussing for a short time about what he was interested in, he felt it would be a decent test of skill you challenge me to making Ravioli. The first thought that came to me was a friend's comment that ravioli is incredible time consuming... But I'm not the type to be detered by such minor adversity. Naturally, I accepted.



The process was indeed arduous, but quite enjoyable for both of us. There will ne a breakdown of the process in the comming Tortellini post, seeing as it is nearly identical. The completed Ravioli were boiled, then given a light pan frying, then tossed with sautéed rattlesnake peas and shallots. I bought some prosciutto to go with it, but forgot to include it. Not a mistake I would make again.

The Ravioli were stiffed with a mix of:


  • Ricotta

  • Parmesian

  • Asiago

  • Romano

  • (Some other cheese)

  • Basil

  • Spinach

  • Nutmeg
