Module 2

Goal: Make ravioli from scratch.

Pasta is my favorite thing to eat.  It doesn't have to be fancy or homemade, but when it is, even better.  I like to cook, too, even though my kitchen is ridiculous and I don't really take enough time to develop my skills.  I'm good at the basics--dinners, a few holiday dishes,--no one starves.  We are all busy in my family, so the default is pasta with a bottle of red sauce or pesto.  Everyone's happy.

But homemade pasta, pasta from scratch, is something delicious on a whole other level.  I'd like to at least have that skill in my quiver, mostly for fun.  And if I make the pasta from scratch, the sauce ought to be homemade, too.

I'll know I've achieved my goal when I am able to prepare a meal for my family which includes homemade ravioli.

I'd love to hear suggestions and tips! Buon appetito!

  1. I have a ravioli maker that I haven't used for years! I'm going to get it out and try!
