Easy Ravioli Making with a Checkered Pin - Part 2

Part 2 - How much pasta you can make with a basic recipe and some time to spare. For the record - there IS water in the dough! I forgot to specify! For 5 or 6 people the pasta recipe is: 5 eggs, 5 cups white flour, 1 cup semolina flour, some salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and about 3/4 cup of water mixed and kneaded into a dough. Filling is a quart of ricotta cheese, 1 cup of grated Paresean cheese, salt, pepper, parsley, herbs and spices to taste. These quantities (and a checkered rolling pin) will make you in the neighborhood of close to 300 ravioli - enough for an average Italian first course. The squash filling is 2 cups cooked squash, 1 cup mascapone cheese, an egg yolk, salt, pepper, and some grated cheese. MANGIA!

Hi, what sauce do you serve over the squash ravioli?

[tarotbear]

@coxpaul1 Because the squash is delicate and the mascapone is slightly sweet, I would use only melted butter with some nutmeg in it to bring out the squash flavor, not a tomato-based sauce. MANGIA!!!

Hi, do you have a foodblog? I'd like to try your ravioli stuffing recipe!!

[tarotbear]

@cheryldagreat No, I don't have a blog of any kind ... do you think enough people would be that interested with all the food shows and sites ALREADY out there? MANGIA!

i need a cousin like you....now do you have to make the sauce also? and how about boiling the ravioli..that alone should be alot of work...who is in charge of the garlic bread? the salad? and last but not least the wine?

[tarotbear]

@besamemucho5 LOL! Cooked ravioli should always be lifted out of the water with a scoop or strainer of some kind and never dumped into a colendar which could break them. Delicate ravioli should almost simmer and not boil where the circulating pasta may get damaged by the churning water. After all that work! My assistant usually makes the sauce, salad, and garlic bread (Although I bake bread, too!) Make some fish ravioli for Christmas Eve! YUM! MANGIA!

Grind the walnuts in a food processor until they are coarse - not fine. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the heavy cream and wine. Cook for a few minutes on high heat until the

sauce reduces and emulsifies. Add the nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg salt, and pepper. Take off the heat and add a generous amount of parmesan - at least 1/2 cup or more. Pour over the ravioli and serve with additional parmesan.

@msmaggie007t dash salt, pepper

1/2 cup melted butter

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup sweet wine

parmesan cheese (The GOOD stuff!)  It is delicious! Deadly, but delicious! I also love the butternuts with a very simple olive oil sauce.

@tarotbear John, I love your videos! I post them to everyone on my FB page and that is a ton of people. Well over 1,000 have heard me singing your praises. You are indeed the Ravioli KING! Here is the sauce I use on the butternut ravioli's. It is very rich! Sooooo good though as my groaning waist attests!

(This is enough sauce for about four dozen ravioli.)

1 1/2 cup walnuts, roasted in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

a pinch of nutmeg
