Yesterday the school bus didn't come. A lady in a mini van with a bunch of grade school kids passed us, turned around and came back and said something about a substitute bus driver coming ten minutes early...
I said, "Kid, do you know these people?" He said he did, so I put him in the stranger's van and watched it drive away.
It all worked out ok, he came home in time for dinner.
We had ravioli
Here is one pre fold. Vegan sausage, spinach, basil, sunflower seed cheese and about a tsp of ketchup.
To make the pasta dough I put 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp salt and 2 tbs olive oil in my FP with the S-blade. I turned the FP on and added water until it got to a grainy consistency, then turned it out and kneaded it until a smooth ball. I split that into four pieces and let them rest for a while. Resting is very important.
Roll out the balls in to very thin sheets on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin.
Cut them with a large round cutter and fill with your favorite fillings. Once full fold the round in half and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Put these in boiling water. First they sink then they float. Cook for five minutes and serve with marinara or whatever sauce you like. The boy likes his plain. No sauce. I like mine with sauerkraut and vege parm.
I also put up two jars of carrot/cabbage sauerkraut (dang, I go through that stuff fast) and a bottle of ketchup.
Kid, do you know these people? hehe! thats hilarious! and the foodies looks yummy, too!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, so funny. I'm glad he got to school. I love ravioli...I've only made it once, I think I must try again.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I am glad everything worked out ok with the lady in the van. There were already like 6 kids in there so I figured they could over take her if it came down :)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that the boy ate dinner with the family last night. Second time ever! He made his own raviolis and had some salad, yay! I tried to get him to try a bite of my curry carrot salad, but he made himself scarce after that, lol!
