Ravioli Dal Giardino…Ravioli From The Garden…

As I made my Homemade Ricotta Filling with Red Italian Dandelion Greens,   and Herbs from the Garden,    I couldn't help remembering all the time spent in the restaurant kitchen,   making big batches of Ravioli.  In my minds eye,  I could almost see Dad,  placing the filling on the huge sheets of fresh pasta, then topping it with another sheet and pinching the dough around the filling… It's a labor of love, so glad Paul still does it at the restaurant…Just wish I had that giant dough sheeter to make the process a little faster than my Kitchen Aid can handle…

Giardino Invernale…Winter Garden…


It's that time of the year ,  part of the country is covered in snow,  and i'm complaining that things are looking so bare.  Having to prune the roses while they still want to bloom… so spoiled…
