Homemade Ravioli & Whole Family Fare
An unexpected, yet very welcome, side-effect of having this blog has been all the blog friends I've made. Megan-Joy is one of those friends - so when she commissioned me to create a new header for her food-centric blog I was happy to oblige. After all, she has walked me through (step-by-little-step) making tortillas and ravioli. Visit her blog for delicious recipes!
And that segues perfectly into my next topic. I spent 3 hours last night making ravioli.
Homemade ravioli stuffed with roasted butternut squash, garlic, nutmeg and goat cheese (hi, Dad!) - topped with sauteed apples, brown sugar and butter sauce.
I was proud of myself for going for it - but probably not worth the effort. I'm definitely deserving of a pasta attachment for my kitchen aid mixer now.
So cool! Meagan-Joy is one of my favs!
And those raviolis look so yummy!

Will you post the recipe that you used? I've looked up other Butternut Squash Ravioli Recipes, and none of them sound as good as what you've posted/decribed! Thanks!

Amanda - I actually didn't use a recipe but here's what I did:
1 butternut squash, halved and roasted flesh side up with olive oil and garlic in the pits on 400F for about 40 minutes - season with salt, nutmeg, whatever you like.
Meanwhile make the ravioli - I don't have my recipe on hand but it was just flour and eggs.
After the squash is done roasting get the skin off (I didn't have an efficient way of doing this) and cube it up. Mash it up with a fork as much as you can. Then cook the mixture up in a pan over medium heat with about 4 tb. of butter. Slowly add about 1/4 of half-and-half.
After you're done with that roll out your pasta - I made mine about 3-4" squares. I filled it with my mixture and put a dollop of goat cheese on top. I closed it using an egg wash and a fork.
Boil for 2-3 minutes or until the ravioli is pale and floating in the boiling water.
To make the sauce chop an apple into 1/4" chunks. Sautee with lots of butter and brown sugar - I just eyeballed it. Spoon the sauce onto your ravioli.
Top it all of with a little bit of grated parmesan. I wish I had added something like chives to the top as well for a little bit of color...
Hope that helps!
