But if I have time I love to make speciality stuffed and baked pastas. Last night I made spinach and ricotta ravioli...all I had to pay for was the flour and parmesan. What a bonus.
First step:
Cut some spinach from your spinach patch. We have bright lights this year and I love their red and yellow veins.
Rinse, chop and steam the spinach and combine with ricotta (or homemade cream cheese works just as well), a handful grated parmesan, salt, black pepper and 1 egg.
Second step:
Collect 4 eggs for your faithful chickens and make your pasta.
Third step:
Take out your prepared tomato pasta sauce from the freezer and defrost. Then heat in a pan.
Fourth step:
Make the ravioli, boil it and then serve with a generous helping of sauce and grated parmesan.
Nothing like it! Child's glue paste or not, I call it comfort food!

Oh, it sure looks like comfort food to me, too! If we only ate what was really good for us we would starve to death in a flurry of boredom! Thanks for the great recipe. :)
Best,

I think pasta is a long way from children's glue paste. It's such a wonderful vehicle for other flavours and really versatile. If you make your own its protein enriched. I thought you did a good job with the ravioli. I remember once I found a recipe for salmon and ricotta ravioli with kaffire lime butter dressing...total disaster! Took a long time for me to get back on that horse again!
