So yesterday was going pretty good. I even got a 2 1/2 hour nap. My mom took Samuel to the children's museum and kept him all afternoon.
So as I was checking my Pinterest and thinking about making dinner. One click led to another and there was a recipe for GF Ravioli. I was intrigued, anytime I find a recipe for gf dough I can knead, I want to try it. GF Ravioli
I didn't have the ingredients to make the filling so I went looking for another filling. I found a yummy Cheese-Broccoli filling and actually had all the ingredients. Ravioli Filling
Ahh...Good intentions...
Charlotte was happily cooing and watching while I dumped the flour and eggs into my blender. The blendtec made amazing dough. The only hard part was getting it out. I get the dough already to knead and start kneading. Charlotte suddenly decided she didn't want to watch mommy cook anymore, she wanted to be held, NOW!
So I strapped her to me and went back to kneading. I am so sore, trying to knead dough with baby hands trying to help was interesting. Half way through the kneading, Charlotte was done. She didn't want to be held, she didn't want to sit and watch, she was just done. Apparently the prospect of mommy eating made her hungry. After making sure I wouldn't burn the house down if I stopped to nurse her, she got her snack.
After eating, she took a catnap, and I picked up the pace on my ravioli. The dough was ready to roll out, the broccoli was cooked and blanched, time to assemble.
The downside of this dough was it is super sticky and needs lot of flour to roll it out. I started out making average sized ravioli but it was taking to long and Charlotte would wake up soon. So I started making bigger ones, it went faster but after cooking the smaller ones tasted better.
The broccoli filling was so yummy and I had tons leftover, I think it will make good filling for quesadillas.
During the whole 'let's make homemade pasta' adventure my parents brought Samuel home. Thankfully they stayed and held Charlotte and played with Samuel so I could get my kitchen back in order. I only had to stop one more time to feed Charlotte.
Next time I try a new recipe I won't be quite as adventurous unless Tyrone his home to help me.
