Sausage Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter
Thursday, June 25th, 2009
For Christmas last year, my parents gave me a “gift certificate” to go shopping with my mom for something for the kitchen. Although I used some of it a couple months ago (to get those low bowls in the picture, come to think of it) we hadn’t found time for me to use the rest of it, mostly because I had been indecisive about what I wanted to get. Last week I was told that my “gift certificate” would expire after six months, so I needed to get to it! We went to Williams Sonoma one night last week and I decided to buy this beautiful pasta maker. Isn’t it a beauty? I love that it’s bright red and shiny!
I was eager to put this baby to work, so I decided to make ravioli for some friends we were having over Saturday night. (I’m in a little bit of trouble for breaking it in without letting Mom help, but I was just getting the kinks worked out.) My only previous experience with making pasta was for the Daring Bakers lasagne a couple months back. In that case, while it turned out very tasty, it was really a pain to roll out by hand (tearing, etc.) and I could never get it anywhere close to as thin as I wanted. (more…)
