Homemade Ravioli and Tomato Sauce
May 8th, 2010 | Categories: Food | 4 Comments
Inspired by my success with making fresh pasta, I decided to try making homemade ravioli. The pasta making process is the same with both fettucini and ravioli dough. The only difference is that when I roll the dough out in the pasta machine, I just roll it out in sheets rather than in fettucini strips.
I used Alton Brown’s ravioli recipe for both the pasta and the filling. The filling was incredibly tasty as there were so many spices that went into the mixture. To top it all off, I made a simple tomato sauce by the incomparable Jamie Oliver. I didn’t really want to “brown” the ravioli in sage butter like Brown’s recipe suggested, so I used a tried-and-true Jamie Oliver recipe for the last touch.
It turned out amazingly! I made so much ravioli that I froze what my family couldn’t eat for dinner. Gone are the days when I buy boxed fresh ravioli from the store… I have my own homemade ravioli now!

Looks gorgeous! I recently started following celebrity chef recipes, and love what’s come of it so far.
