Utensils for Ravioli

My all time favorite pasta to make is ravioli. Making ravioli isn’t too challenging and you get to decide what you want to stuff in your ravioli.

With the Norpro Ravioli Maker it is easy to shape and stuff you ravioli.

You will also need a roller and a pastry brush.

How to use the Norpro Ravioli Maker:

1.) Cover the serrated tray with a thin layer of pasta

2.) Gently press the other tray on top of the pasta dough to form valleys in the dough. Take the tray off.

3.) Brush the pasta with egg whites, glazing the sides of each square

4.) Fill each valley with desired stuffing

5.) Cover a thin layer of pasta over the first sheet of pasta

6.) Use a wooden roller on top of the tray so it can cut through the pasta and make ravioli squares.

Make sure to buy these utensils because in the next post we’ll be making ravioli!

Affordable and Green Pots

When cooking pasta or making sauce I recommend you use a Cast Iron Dutch Oven Pot.

They are easy to clean, environmentally friendly and you can purchase them at any kitchen appliance store or on Amazon.

It is a bad idea to cook sauce in an iron pot or pan because the iron can affect the taste of the sauce. Once, when I accidentally cooked sauce in an iron skillet, the sauce tasted like iron because of the acidity. Cast iron skillets are good to use as long as you do not use them to cook acidic foods such as tomato sauce. They are great for cooking vegetables and meat for your sauces and can be found here! The Dutch Oven is enameled, meaning it’s coated so there will be no taste of iron in your sauce.

You can purchase one here on Amazon for only $49.00!

There is also an abundance of pots and pans at Williams-Sonoma, which I will discuss in my next post.
