Continuing the pasta tradition

Life is returning to normal here in North Wraxall and Bath but with one small change.  I attended my first Farmer's market since getting home from Bolsena and I added a new product - fresh ravioli!  I couldn't wait till Christmas for a pasta machine so got myself one last week and have been experimenting since then.  Last Friday I decided to make some ravioli with seasonal fillings.    Butternut squash, ricotta, sage and marjoram was one, with beetroot, almond, orange and ricotta for a second type.  The squash, beetroots and herbs were all from my garden.

I didn't make too much but it was so delicious that I thought I'd give it a go at the market; I sold out.  I will take some more in two weeks and see what sort of feedback I get.

Knowledge passed on from Nonna Teresa is being put to use in Bath, England.  Thank you.
