Another Goodwill Find " Ravioli maker " and books

When I have time as there are a few different ones around, I try to drop in.

Well couple weeks ago I was looking for for something and I thought I would check out the thrift shops.

Did not find what I was looking for , But did find couple cook books and this
I always wanted one but was not sure if and when I would use it . But for
$ 2.99, I made it mine .

So now it has the dough recipe on the back of the box and how to use it .

I have a couple ideas of what to fill them with.

Thinking maybe Smoke a brined chicken for the stuffing or maybe Donair meat Ravioli and our version of Tzatziki sauce over that .

So another good score at the thrift shop for me.

Cool find!

So many ideas in my head for a filling.. and could go sweet or savory!

Might be a fun way to use up any left over smoked meats!

Keepnus updated on what you make with this!

They work pretty good, as do the wooden ravioli rollers.
Lately I've been going old school and free forming them and using a pastry cutter, it's quicker and easier for me .
Next time I make them I'll be sure to take some pics. Morels and ground veal, garlic, and chopped dego parsley is my go to for filling, but I also do plain'ol ricotta thinned down with eggs , pecorino cheese ravioli as well.
The cheese ravioli is also amazing with ground wild duck or speckle belly goose in the filling as well.
Yum this is normally a winter meal for my house, but you peeked my interest.
Im gonna have to make some soon.

Sweet find!!!
Dan.

I always wanted to make my own , but never had the tools , or made the time to do them.
Same as perogies, just easyer to buy them done, but fresh is always better.

Yours sound tasty , and I am leaning towards smoked chicken iin them to start , or maybe Donair meat.....my god I cant make up my mind, lol

I always wanted one but was not sure if and when I would use it .

I've had the exact same one for a LONG time. Still new in the box and have never used it, but I keep saying one day...

Nice score! I love Goodwill treasure hunts. I stop on a few times a month locally.

" Ravioli maker "

I have that exact one . Have another one that Ray sent me . Both work great .
Do you have a pasta roller ?
You already make pasta dough ?
I have several recipes for dough , and they can be all over the place .
This is an easy one to double / triple or what ever .
1 cup AP flour ( I use 1/2 AP - 1/2 Semolina )
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
2 TBL water if needed .
If you haven't made a lot of pasta dough , don't be worried about what it is , but understand what it will be .
This ( just mixed )

Turns into this after resting and rolling .



Start simple and use ricotta cheese . I think that spinach and egg in the cheese .

I freeze before cooking .

Good luck .

Yes at that price I could not pass up. And always a couple good books to read ( cook, BBQ, food,)
I am about the same once in a while unless I am looking for something special, then I make the rounds to a bunch of them.

Thanks Rich for the comment

- No I do not have a pasta roller ( and NOOOOOO I do not need one..... Stop , lol )
- I have made pasta dough before but quite awhile ago, but there is a recipe on the box, not sure if it is a good one.
Willing to try a tried and good one from you.

Was hoping I could just us my rolling pins to flatten after I mix kneed and let rise some. Before you or @Steve H hook me into a pasta machine, LOL.

Your dough looks great and the finished ravioli looks good also.

Thanks

David

Thank you for the dough , will give it a try

there is a recipe on the box, not sure if it is a good one.

It's really about the same as the one I listed . Basic rule of thumb that I've seen is 1 egg per 1 cup of flour .
Some do 1 egg per cup , then 1 yolk per the total batch .
So 2 cups flour , 2 whole eggs plus 1 yolk .
I've also done all semolina and just water .
I do the 1 egg per cup because it's easy to double / triple ,, whatever .
If you have one you;ve worked with , I would use that .
