What fillings do you like in your ravioli?

last year

I haven't made ravioli for ages but I got an urge this-morning. I made a filling with some prawns, pork, garlic, fresh herbs, philly cheese to bind and seasoning. After boiling, they were tossed in butter and sage leaves.

I'd love to hear what you like - meat and vegetarian. My veggie daughter is coming in a couple of weeks and I think she's appreciate some home-made ravioli. I really don't like the ubiquitous spinach and ricotta LOL.

I do the exactly same as Gyr, or I add some sautéed prosciutto to the mix if I want meat. Sometimes I use provolone instead of asiago.

I've also sometimes added sautéed mushrooms, but I haven't been very inventive with ravioli since I love them with spinach. I've never put prawns or shrimp in them, but I have added crab, but if I use seafood, I do not use cheese or dairy, except for Parmesan on top at the end.

I like to use pork in gyoza (which is similar), but I haven't used it in ravioli.

Can't say I've ever bothered to make ravioli. But Sainsbury's do a fresh butternut squash one which is tasty. Approved by the Italian son in law.

I've never made ravioli, either. The store-bought refrigerated ones are pretty good, so making myself just isn't worth the bother.

ETA: Your filling does sound delicious, I would enjoy that.

I stick evergreen branches in mine. In fact I'll be headed out this weekend to pick the branches. I try to get a variety of evergreens. For December, I add some branches that I spray paint red or silver. In January I add some little snowmen on sticks. I add some hearts for February. I get rid of them in March and put my pansies out. We're in the planning stages of a garage renovation. When we widen the driveway, I'm thinking of some large cedar planters to form the boundary between lawn and driveway. I'm thinking of some dwarf conifers in those planters. I would put annuals around the base in the spring, summer and fall. And for the winter I could decorate like I do my front step containers.

I'm in central FL and am also new to broms. Mine seem very low attention. Sprinklers run twice a week for the grass & that is enough. Mine are in part shade under the canopy of an oak. Mostly they need no special attention. The exception is one wide leafed variety (forget the name right now), that seems to need some extra water dumped into it when its cup runs dry. In that second picture, it is the large red one to the left behind the tree trunk. Kind of hidden here sorry - don't have a better pic. Anyhow, I can tell when it needs water not because the cup is empty, but because the leaves start to curl in on themselves a bit, as if something was rolling up the leaf lengthwise into a tube. My matchsticks show this same behavior too when they don't get enough water. I've been experimenting with how much sun those can take, and the ones that are in too sunny of a location show obvious signs of drought stress. I'd say if the plant isn't showing any stress symptoms in its leaves, then it is fine. What do other's think?

What do you like (or not like) about your pull location choices?

Regarding the wider drawers and 1 pull vs. 2 - I personally don’t like 2 pulls on a drawer, because people tend to pull on just one, instead of grasping both pulls equally. Since that pull is to the side, i.e., not centered the way 1 pull would be, either the pull starts coming loose over time, or the drawer gets out of plumb from people pulling just on one side instead of both sides equally. I also believe that the pull size should vary according to the width of the drawer. The rough rule of thumb is that if using a single pull per drawer, the pull should be approximately one-third the width of the drawer. I feel that in your second pic, that pull looks too wide for that drawer. In your 3rd pic you posted, the drawers appear wider than the drawers in the 2nd pic. It's JMHO, but you should get smaller pulls for narrower drawers, and wider pulls for wider drawers. I would have the pulls be horizontal on the drawers, and vertical on the doors. I would center the pulls that are horizontal.

Where do you eat your meals and why do you like to eat there?

Sorry for the yellowed image, it's gloomy outside today, but this is the view from the eating area in our kitchen. Here is where we eat 95% of our meals during cool or super hot weather, if it's mild or warm, we eat out side at the table. Our dining room is for larger gatherings. I love it there too, but rarely would the two of us choose to eat there alone. I've cleaned up the table so that the bottles of vitamins, supplements and Kleenex box are on the island, normally they live at DH's place! The tv is on the counter, to the right of the table. DH hates it being on in the mornings because it disturbs his reading of the paper, however we are usually watching the news or Jeopardy during dinner. Rarely do we eat in the den. We just don't find it comfortable to hang over the low coffee table while sitting on the sofa. Although that said, DH takes a tray in there when I'm having a Mahjongg game at the kitchen table. DD moved to Georgia and has the above areas and a darling screened in porch. I think that would be the best of both worlds.

I, too, love a squash or pumpkin filled ravioli, as well as a mushroom/truffle ravioli. I saw one recipe that used roasted eggplant that I thought sounded good, too.

Ricotta and herbs. Beef and tomato. Whatever random things need using up (probably the best).

I’ve never made it myself. We can get good ravioli from an Italian market/deli here. I tend to like a 3-cheese ravioli with marinara or meat sauce or mushroom/spinach with butter sauce. I’ll sometimes serve Italian sausage along side if no meat sauce. Certain store bought brands often lack flavor to me. Also hard to even tell what’s inside.

Parmigiano-Reggiano, asiago, ricotta and red bell pepper. I usually don't add meat to my pasta or sauces, but if I'm in the mood for that I add spicy Italian Sausage to the homemade red sauce.

I don't really trust anything made in a factory so limit to the minimum lol. We have an Italian deli in our little town but the prices make my eyes water lol. There are some great suggestions. Thank you.
