Ravioli

Tonight Baker and I made three-cheese ravioli.  It was our second attempt to create these luscious cheese-filled pockets of pasta, into which we placed one basil leaf each (or none or 2) for aesthetic appeal.
 
We discovered that rolling out pasta is quite difficult without a pasta machine.  Even the crank version (one of which we have at home and another of which I gave Baker as a present a while back) renders the dough much thinner in much less time.  As a result, our hand-rolled ravioli was a little tough.
 
Still, it was fun to make and fun to eat.  If only making delicious food like this from scratch weren't so exhausting...
