Pasta Day

What do you do when you have a cousin home from overseas for a couple months? Get together to visit over ravioli making. While learning about life in another culture, why not learn a new kitchen skill? The byproduct -- broadened minds, happy faces, and full tummies.

Kneading the pasta dough. It doesn't feel anything like my soft bread dough.

Wait 30 minutes to let the gluten relax, and you have a nice and pliable dough for rolling.

Pillows of meat. An egg yolk mixture is brushed on to hold it all together.

Sealed up and cut apart, this ravioli is ready to go into the boiling pot. Spinach and cheese fills these.

We did it... and now we can eat!
