Pasta For Life!

I am a massive pasta lover. I could eat pasta everyday and probably won't get sick of it!

Last year during lockdown, I found a video explaining how to make pasta without a pasta roller. And despite it involving a lot of rolling pin action, I did it twice!

Once I got the KitchenAid, I realised I could get attachments including a pasta roller! So naturally, that became the next investment!

This was the first thing I made with my husband using the roller!

We decided to make a ricotta and spinach ravioli (yes, we made the ricotta too! - they kept saying on MasterChef how easy it was to make). For the sauce, the funny backstory is that I was making ghee a couple of days earlier (clarified butter I use in Indian cooking). But I used a new enamelled steel saucepan and well, the butter didn't behave the same way it does in other saucepans, so I couldn't tell what was going on. Before I knew it, it had gone past the point of ghee and had become brown butter. Loathe to waste so much butter, I just kept it in a container.

So our sauce was going to be a brown butter and sage sauce. I was concerned that this seemed very rich and heavy especially for dinner and I wanted some freshness, so decided to add cherry tomatoes into the butter to break down and basically make a buttery tomato broth.

This was possibly one of the most amazingly delicious pastas I've ever had (even if I say so myself haha!) Still surprises me that it didn't have garlic!
