Yesterday DD came up from Oly and we spent the day making home made ravioli! We had a great time (of course any time I get to spend with DD is always great!) It was the perfect Mother /Daughter day. We gossiped and chatted all day and in the end enjoyed a delicious meal that we were both proud of. (poor Jimmy missed it cuz he had to work a really long day and then got locked in the parking garage at work) The star of the day was the hand cranked food processor that DD gave me for a Christmas gift a couple of years ago.
We used the very simple pasta dough recipe on the back of the semolina bag. The stuffing for the ravioli was a thicker version of the alfredo sauce recipe, with chicken added to it. The alfredo sauce recipe is below . I'm putting it here so DD can have access to it any time she wants to call it up.
Frankie's Alfredo Sauce:
(this recipe is more of a guideline than a recipe so add or take away as you please)
3 or 4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of butter
1/4 cup cream
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup grated parmesan
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
IN a sauce pan..... brown your garlic in the butter. Add the cream and milk. When it starts to boil add your cheese and whisk til smooth and creamy. Stir in the parsley. Remove from heat and let stand for a couple of minutes. If you want your sauce thinner ...add more milk ( a little at a time). If you want it thicker...add more cheese.
