Ravioli, Ravioli

[Jay]

Happy Friday and National Ravioli Day! I think Ravioli might just be my favorite pasta. There are so many possibilites for delicious fillings, sauces, etc. to create a truly unique dish. 

Plus, making some Ravioli always reminds me of this hilarious clip from Spongebob SquarePants, who was a prominant figure in my childhood 

It also just so happens to be National Flour Day, so get some flour, make some pasta, and craft some Ravioli

My daughter makes homemade, including the pasta from scratch.

Those are the best of the very best. My wife makes homemade ravioli (or other pasta) sometimes, and it's really heavenly.  I can only have that sort of thing very rarely (diabetic, must keep carbs very low), so I make sure to savour the meal.

I've never really been much of a pasta fan, though I do like some of the more cheesy things.  I do, however, love lasagna.  The more ricotta and mozzarella, the better!

Not a pasta fan?

Really?

Yep.  I've never really been.  Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike it, but it's not something I desire very often.  I've never even been to Olive Garden, and probably never will.  

There used to be this great Italian restaurant called "Tina's Italian Kitchen" in Hamburg, NY.  My folks absolutely loved it, as did a lot of other people.  It was a nice place.  Not far out of reach pricey, but you wouldn't want to be eating there on a regular basis.  We'd often go with friends and such.  They'd be getting penne and risotto and all the fancy things.  I'd always get small pan pizza.  I was the oddball.  😛 

I'm more of a meat and potatoes kind of guy.
