I've always wanted to try making pasta at home. In fall and winter, our fridge is often full of pureed pumpkin that needs to be used, so I decided to make pumpkin ravioli for dinner. When Isaac heard this, he could wait to help, so we did this together. He mixed the ingredients, blended the pesto, then helped cut out the ravioli with a biscuit cutter. Together we spooned the pumpkin puree onto the little circles of dough, closed them, and sealed them up with water. This is the result above: a little thicker than pasta should be, but not bad for the first try!
For a dinner this pretty, we had to set the table and eat in the dining room of course. Sadly, after all the effort, the texture was not Isaac's favorite. He was happy when dinner was over and he could move on to the gingerbread house he'd made at school, which he shared piece by piece with each of us, doling out his treasure carefully.
Jonah preferred the gingerbread house too. Oh well - it still made for a fun night!
