Eating on Jitneys

Do you want to know how much it costs to make about 4 servings of the best ravioli you have ever tasted?  Maybe $3.00 total…and that’s if you buy fancy ricotta.  I made my own pasta dough from scratch today for the first time and had total success.  It took a good three hours, so if you include the time factor I suppose the cost goes up somehow (time you could have been…yes).

Dough:

2.5 cups all-purpose flour, 3 whole eggs, 3 egg yokes, a little olive oil and a little salt.  For the filling I wilted a pound of spinach in 2 T of butter, mixed in some chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup of goat cheese and 1/2 cup of ricotta.

SO GOOD!

I am having a dinner party this weekend in which I will make the frozen ravilolis and pictures will be provided.  I’m just excited about tonight’s success and had to spread the news.

Also, my ice cream maker came today…
