We made Spelt Ravioli and IT WORKED!!! I have made pasta out of spelt flour several times before but have always had trouble making the stuffed pasta. So after reading a few different sets of instructions on how to make stuffed pasta I figured out how to do it and do it well. I even taught my thirteen year old daughter how to make her own.
We had ours stuffed with a combination of ricotta, spinach, gorgonzola and fresh basil from our garden. Christine made this beautiful sauce with onions, carrots and garlic sauteed in olive oil and then tomatoes. It was a beautiful chunky delicious sauce full of flavour.
My daughter, Boedicea, made her own filling with spelt bread crumbs, an egg, shredded cheddar cheese and bacon. She even stuffed her own ravioli and she thought they would fall apart when they were cooked. They didn't! She ended up with a pot full of amazingly delicious, big, beautiful ravioli.
It wa so much fun making the raviloi that now I want to do a workshop on it.
