This time ... fresh pasta! How nice! We had our hands in the flour again and couldn't stop enjoying the kneading... (I hope...). Sage and butter for the pumpking and spinach ravioli and homemade tomatosauce for the tagliatelle! Mamma mia! Buonissimi!
Ravioli and Tagliatelle dough
100gr of flour
1 egg
salt
1. To prepare the mixture by hand, place the flour on a clean bowl and make a well in the centre.
2. Break the eggs into the well and using a fork, beat the eggs in to the well, gently drawing in flour from the sides. Continue dragging flour into the centre well, stirring the ingredients together until the dough begins to form a homogeneous mass.
4. You can add colour to the dough by adding a little bit of tomato paste, spinach juice (for green), carrot juice for orange/yellow or squid ink for purple/black!
Pumpkin filling
Boil or roast the pumpkin till it is so soft you can work it with a spoon, add a bit of salt and of parmesan.
