Ravioli making is a huge deal at my house and a family affair, since one of my sons is insanely fond of it and we make masses in an assembly line situation. I've never had pumpkin ravioli but I've made Giada's butternut squash lasagna, probably along the same lines tastewise - it was sublime.....Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539147275000703476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-37191027304915522052008-09-21T12:03:00.000+02:002008-09-21T12:03:00.000+02:00Walt – I'll email you a pasta recipe I think you w...Walt – I'll email you a pasta recipe I think you will find fun to make.

Add handfuls to soups and stews e.g. minestrone.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-44595056188030399512008-09-20T13:12:00.000+02:002008-09-20T13:12:00.000+02:00They look fine to me as well.

I'm sure you've already worked this out, but the tricks to ravioli in my experience are 1) don't try to get more than a rounded teaspoon's worth of filling in each, 2) try not to seal much of an air pocket in them, as this will expand mightily and 3) get the pressure of the fork around the edge just right - not so hard as to make a hole, but firm enough to form a complete seal. Surprisingly, this last one is probably the hardest to achieve.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-69368774612791836192008-09-20T12:49:00.000+02:002008-09-20T12:49:00.000+02:00What is the filling made of?What is the filling made of?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-40052170481118945282008-09-20T10:59:00.000+02:002008-09-20T10:59:00.000+02:00I wish I were your company- those ravioli look so ...I wish I were your company- those ravioli look so good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-86282888810227207972008-09-20T10:27:00.000+02:002008-09-20T10:27:00.000+02:00Your raviolis look just fine to me.
