Christmas Ravioli



Making fresh pasta by hand makes me happy. Whenever I feel less than great, all I need is some flour, eggs, salt and olive oil. These Ravioli took all day and my arms feel like I lifted weights. So worth it though. If I did this every week, I'd look like Popeye. Now I understand why all the real Italian Nonnas I knew looked like they could take anyone in an arm wrestle, they could!!
They didn't need a pasta machine, so I don't either. I love the old ways of doing things.
I just read "The Lost Ravioli Recipes of Hoboken" by Laura Shenone.
What a fun read! Part novel, part recipe book.
Happy New Year, everybody!
