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 just read this morning in a little booklet called "No Toil Power Soil" that you can turn your large containers into a lasagna type garden. "Start by covering the drainage holes with several thin layers of wet newspaper. In very large pots, you can fill the bottom with empty cans turned UPSIDE DOWN...next add a 2-inch layer of compost, then a layer of potting soil, then more compost, then more potting soil yada, yada, yada. Pull back the layers and pop in your plants. After planting, cover the soil with a mulch to preserve moisture. Later in the season you can fertilize with compost tea or liquid fertilizer of some sort. I have yet to try that in particular, but it sounds like a very good idea. In my big containers, I use large chunks of landscaping mulch in the bottom third of the pot. It has always worked for me. The roots go down into that mulch and seem to like it. Hope this works for you.

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.

How do you fill your hot sauce bottles?

bed bath and beyond has 2 packs of a heat resistant funnel that I use the smaller one from. works great with a normal 5oz woozy bottle (standard hot sauce bottle), as long as the sauce isn't ridiculously thick. and since I boil my funnel with the bottles in preparation for filling, being heat resistant is a plus.

How do you fill in your eyebrows so they don't look fake?

I use the Clinique brow shaper (like an eyeshadow) with a angled brow brush and spoolie. I need to shape, fill in and make my brows larger, longer than they really are. I use a qtip with a little bit of lotion to clean up or take off anywhere there's too much or I went too high or too low etc. Powder helps tone them down too. (I have black eyebrows) I've used the Clinique brow shaper for 20+ years...I've recently bought a brow pencil by Benefits, it's a thick angled retractable tip, it's a hit n miss, I need more time when I use the pencil...I can get consistently good results with the brow shaper compared to the pencil. I can only compare to this particular pencil, but the powder type stays better for me. The pencil rubs off more easily.

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.
