This is the sauce I love to serve with soft pretzels. There are no measurements, it is all to taste. Usually, I use mostly mayo, a small squirt of mustard and about twice as much honey as mustard. It's up to you, and what your taste buds prefer!
1. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Cook for about 2 minutes then add the fresh tomato, sugar basil and oregano. Stir to blend and add the canned tomatoes. Cook for an additional few minutes over high heat, stirring from time to time.
After the sauce has finished cooking, add whatever cooked veggies and/or meat you'd like to make it complete. Heat through. Serve over pasta of your choice, if desired.
I have listed separate recipes for the filling, the pasta and the sauce. Feel free to add/change whatever you'd like to the filling and serve the ravioli with a sauce of your choice. The combo I have here fit together very nicely.
2. In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Add mushroom mixture to the cheese and stir well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Dough - modified from my old pasta recipe
3. Mix with a fork until crumbly. Add water, a little at a time until soft dough forms. The dough should be somewhat sticky. Cover and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, set up pasta maker if using. It is easy enough to make this without a pasta maker as well. Just follow SnoWhite's directions.
4. Cut dough into four chunks. I ended up breaking each of these chunks into two or three pieces to pass though the machine.
5. Lightly sprinkle pasta maker and dough with flour. Pass dough through the pasta maker on the widest setting, decreasing the width with each pass. I ended up flattening them until the #4 setting on my machine. Once you have the desired thickness, use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into rectangles. Add a spoonful of filling onto one side of each rectangle. Fold the empty side over and seal tightly with a fork.
6. Boil ravioli in salted water for 10-12 minutes, until they are floating. Drain and serve with sauce of your choice. Place extra ravioli in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes-1 hour and then place them in a freezer bag for future use.
This made more than 50 ravioli for me. We used about 15 the first time which gave us enough for supper and lunch for FD the next day. When I made the mushroom cream sauce, I cooked about 25, which was enough for three adults, one child and one extra lunch. I still have about 15 in the freezer which will give us another meal for two.
2. Mix in flour, salt and Italian seasoning until smooth.
3. Gradually stir in wine and broth. Simmer, but do not boil. Add cream cheese and stir until melted and well incorporated. Reduce heat to low.
4. Whisk egg and milk together. Slowly add to pan, stirring constantly. Add peas and cook until heated.
Serve over spinach, mushroom and bacon ravioli or a pasta of your choice.
