Pasta lovers prepare to drool..

Last week I posted about the fresh fettuccine we made with my Christmas present. DH really wanted to try and make fresh ravioli. I was in charge of the filling and he made the pasta dough (since I made a pretty big mess last time). For the filling I roasted a butternut squash with a little olive oil, and then put it in the food processor with some sauteed shallots, grated pecorino cheese, salt and pepper. Once he had the dough kneaded we rolled it out and I used a piping bad to fill the pasta. Cut with a cookie cutter, boil for a few minutes, used a little lemon and a sprinkling of cheese to garnish and voila! A delicious dinner. I only had four of these little beauties, I have been doing so great on my plan that I did not want to introduce too much of the white flour into my newly cleaned out system. I ate my small portion slowly and enjoyed every single bite! It was actually much easier than I though it would be, here are a few pictures of the process.

We made up for these extra carbs with another long bike ride in the country. 20km this time before it began to drizzle and we headed back. I got a new toy to help with the biking.. I'll blog about it tomorrow.
