What fillings do you like in your ravioli?

9 months ago

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'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?

No problem Terri. LOL! Here is what I would do. Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table ============================= Long loaf of Italian Bread or long crusty rolls. 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese 1 to 2 cloves garlic parsley salt pepper fresh grated parmesan cheese Optional: Basil or Oregano . Cream the butter with the gorgonzola cheese. Mince garlic and add to cheese mixture. Add chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper. If using the basil or the oregano add now as well. Leave loaf whole, but cut slices so that the loaf stays together. Spread cheese mixture in between each slice and reshape loaf. Sprinkle top of loaf with parmesan cheese and wrap in foil. Place in 400Â°F oven for 10 or 15 minutes and serve hot.

Keurig do you fill your own kcups?

I do not have one but my friends that do and try to make their own cups seldom make decent coffee. One of the things that most do not realize is that the coffee in them is micro-ground. That is finer than espresso grind and most filters will not catch all of it. When the cups first were on the market almost all had instant coffee powder in the cups. You seldom see that listed anymore but it could be hidden under "added flavor". I use a two cup Toastess brand coffee maker which sadly they seem to have discontinued. One of the other dislikes with the machines is that if you use a flavored coffee or other drink the flavor lingers. This way I can keep one side for one type the other for other uses.

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.
