| Ricotta cheese ravioli |
Over the weekend I have "mastered" the semolina flour pasta dough. It was challenging but outcome was beyond my expectation. I was surprised by the taste of pasta and ravioli, and that inspired me to work on my pasta making skills.

| Pasta with a cottage cheese and a lemon zest. Simple and tasty. |
Next time I will tell you what obstacles I had to overcome and how I managed to do it. Quite fun experience if you ask me!
What surprised you today? What inspired you?
See you,

Is it an eggless dough??
ReplyDeleteNo, it has eggs. My next project with pasta would be the eggles dough made with semolina flour and water.
DeleteOhhh... my grandma used make these... DELICIOUS!!! she was adding cottage cheese and feta cheese. YUM!!! Love your pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Inessa! I love it with feta cheese but I didn't have any in the fridge so just made with ricotta and some cottage cheese.
Deletethey look gorgeous.. well a friend of mine managed to lose 20 lbs in a months, that inspired me today :)
ReplyDeleteGreat! Loosing weight is a big deal (I know it first hand, I lost 35lb and need to shake about 10 more).
DeleteI bet it was rewarding mastering the pasta dough! They look beautifully silky smooth! :D
ReplyDeleteYes Lorraine, it was totally rewarding considering I don't eat any store bought pasta! :) I just can't. Is there something wrong with me? :)
DeleteSo cool! That is something I always wanted to try!
ReplyDeleteTry it and you'll love it! Everyone would!
DeleteYOU surprised me with this fabulous looking pasta! How fun to try new things and come up with such wonderful results!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I worked hard for this result, I mean I worked 5 hours for this result! :)
DeleteI love homemade ravioli, I even dedicated an entire blog post on how to make them, I can have them everyday, they are so comforting and remind me of childhood!
ReplyDeleteI am with you: I can eat them every day and it also reminds me of my childhood. It is my comfort food. :)
DeleteYour ravioli and noodles are beautiful! I have thought about buying a bread maker and making bread, seems easy enough. But noodles, that looks difficult.
ReplyDeleteSheila, it is really just a matter of practice and time. You've mastered those beautiful quilt blogs, didn't you?! :)
DeleteWow, this looks superb! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks Asmita!
DeleteI can't wait to hear about it! I just ordered a pasta maker - I can't wait to play around with it!
ReplyDeleteYou'll love it, I am sure. Let me know if you have some questions. :)
DeleteThey look great! Well done you! I have not made these in ages but I know how good homemade pasta tastes!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of flour do you use for pasta? I am still experimenting...:)
DeleteI've been thinking about mastering pasta dough myself for quite a while now, but the ready made version always wins. But your results scream it's worth the effort. :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't eat store bought pasta, I just can't for some reason, it sticks to my throat and doesn't want to go down. :)
DeleteHome made paste definitely tastier then store bought and did you notice how much quicker it cooked?
ReplyDeleteHi Norma, Yes it cooks in about 3 minutes when it's fresh. But when I let it dry it needs to be cooked for about 6-7 minutes. Either way, it is delicious!
Deletewaw! I like it!
ReplyDeleteHey Marina! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my blog! I'd love to learn to make my own pasta dough some day! It sounds like a very challenging yet rewarding thing to do. I love all kinds of pasta so if I could learn to whip some up on my own, that'd be awesome! I'd love to see your recipe sometime! Btw, totally following you back now!
