A few friends and I got together yesterday afternoon fir some good old fashioned ravoli-making fun. We each brought a filling (some brought 2 or 3) and then we made the dough and each brought home 3-4 bags of ravioli.It's a good thing I don't own a Kitchen Aid, because I don't know how I wouldn't be making fresh pasta 24/7 ( I know I can make it without a Kitchen Aid, but let's face it...it makes about 1000 times easier!)
Some of the combinations we made were:
- roasted eggplant, roasted garlic, ricotta, and parmesan
- smoked salmon, cilantro, scallions, and ricotta
- feta, artichoke, and spinach
- spinach and about 5 cheeses
- pumpkin, mozzarella, nutmeg
- sweet potato, cinnamon, nutmeg, parmesan
- ricotta, kalamata olives, onions, asiago cheese
- artichoke, cilantro, and red onion (i cant remember what kind of cheese was in these)
- portabello mushroom and gorgonzola with balsamic vinegar
Smoked Salmon, Cilantro and Scallions
Kalamata Olives and Scallions
Portobello Mushrooms and Gorgonzola Cheese with Balsamic Vinegar
Looks like a lot of fun!

This looks so good and sounds like so much fun! What a great idea to make a party out of it!
ReplyDeleteThat was so fun! I'm glad that my filling made the cut!
ReplyDeletehow fun! i got a pasta maker for xmas and still haven't used it... what i shame. i love all the filling combinations!
ReplyDeletewow, those are so cute! i want to go to a ravioli making party! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautifully plump raviolis! Great job!
ReplyDeleteI hope that one of my next purchases will be a pasta roller. Since I have a Cuisinar mixer, rather than KA, I can only get an extrusion attachment. :-(. I'm curious, what you were rolling the dough over to create the pockets in that one picture. I've always found making ravioli to be such a pain, but that looks like it could simlify things a LOT!
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic!! I love that you make RAVs. All the different types of ravioli sound great.
ReplyDeleteAround Christmas time my family makes home made manicotti. It is quite a treat.
