Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Ravioli
Overview
There are many ways to make ravioli and its brothers, sisters and cousins, tortellini, tortelli, tortelloni, agnoletti, etc. etc. etc. One of the ways we did in this recipe with an ice cube tray and a rolling pin. Two things: Don't make your pasta too thin (or it will break) and work fast because if you're slow the pasta will get too dry and it will...you guessed it...break. There are a million possible fillings and a million possible sauces, but remember two things:
- Simple is almost always best.
- Maybe you need to use up what's in your fridge (or garden).
- Most of all, have fun! Impress your friends! Eat foods you make by hand, with love! Like ravioli!
