monkey see, monkey do?

remember i learned how to make pasta?

well that weekend i went out and bought this:


and since then, i've made these:


 one is roasted butternut squash ravioli,
and the other is fettucini with chicken sausage and peppers.

so tell me, is a dessert=inspired pumpkin ravioli with either a cinnamon or vanilla drizzle a bad idea as an alternative to pumpkin pie?  don't get me wrong, i love me some pun'kin pie, just thinking that dessert ravioli might be a fun surprise for the tummy.

Of course a dessert ravioli is a good idea! Add some cinnamon and sugar to the pasta dough. Make sure you make the pumpkin filling sweet; and you need a good sauce on top. What size will they be? 1 per person? IF you want to go decadent, then deep fry them, then you have a crispy outside.
I love this pumpkin ravioli idea...I might steal it! BTW, if anyone wants to make ravioli without a pasta maker, wonton wrappers work perfectly!

thanks for the wonton tip, holly!

dessert ravioli....hmmmm...i think i still have that image of sausage in your pasta stuck in my head and can't imagine sausage to be good with vanilla drizzle, so i don't have a good perspective. mmm...i think i want pie now.

pictures are awesome!! love the new header. want fettucini. and ya, i can't jump on the dessert ravioli right now. maybe i'll come back later.

Sounds like a great idea to me. I feel like I saw a pasta-as-dessert recipe recently. No idea where, though.

looks delicious! so....is making your own pasta really that much better than store bought? i've made my own gnocchi a few times and it was good but not amazing. maybe my technique is lacking. but i hear people rave about homemade pasta and have almost bought a pasta maker a bajillion times.
