Making Pasta!
It began as a strong desire to create in the warmth of our kitchen,
after all our home school books were tucked away for the day.
I found a pasta maker online and ordered him to come home,
we named him Mr. Atlas 150-
~our current hero!
We loved our first ravioli making lesson.
I watched a couple of videos on the how-to on YouTube
(how I love YouTube...visually it teaches me so much!)
Our first session we rolled out two varieties
and not a single one exploded when cooked
(I am told this is a sign of good ravioli making!)
The cool thing was the fillings weren't from a recipe...
only from what we had on hand and what I thought MIGHT be delicious.
The kids had a ball
and though our backs hurt from all the hard work,
our stomachs are screaming to make more!
Fine dining at our house, welcome friends~
the humble beginnings...flour, egg yolks, olive oil and a bit of salt
Gathering up and kneading
Heavily floured so they don't stick while they wait to be cooked
and to finish the meal...
our daughter who normally doesn't cook
made with a little help from Mama,
a lovely accompaniment...
one with cheese and one with no cheese...
made with a little help from Mama,
a lovely accompaniment...
one with cheese and one with no cheese...

OH MY GOODNESS! THESE LOOK LIKE THEY COULD BE IN A FANCY SCHMANCY ITALIAN COOKBOOK!
How delish!
Wow that looks delicious. What a gourmet you are!
Yum! That sauce sounds especially delicious. We just made ravioli the other night, too! Heart shaped for V-day (I make holiday foods early so they can be posted on my food blog).
Mmm... I want to come over for dinner! (That pumpkin-pistachio sage ravioli reminds me of my very-favorite meal in my hometown: a local Italian restaurant that makes their own pasta, too-- and serves up the most delicious plate of Butternut Squash Ravioli... mmm! With sage and walnuts and a combination of cheeses I've never been able to figure out. But... SO GOOD!
Our oldest bio is dairy (AND wheat) allergic--and then we adopted Kristina, here she is VERY allergic to dairy--even one tiny bite of something with just a bit in it can make her sick for 10 days! So we tell her that God knew which family to put her in, since we were already used to dealing with her older brother's dairy allergy. ;-) It's a challenge to learn to cook differently but worth it for healthy children!
