Ravioli is for Roussette

This post started some time in February, but I never completed it.  I am thinking this was a Friday night that we decided to stay in and make ravioli.  I distinctly remember helping "fork" the seal (and design) around the edges, if nothing else (but I'm generally pretty helpful when we're making delicious raviolis).  

I was searching dictionary.com for a noun that started with R and this was the first noun in the list that did not offensively describe a group of people:

Roussette, n.
1 a fruit bat, especially the large species inhabiting the islands of the Indian ocean.
2 any small shark of the genus Scyllium, see Dogfish.

This has nothing to do with ravioli, but now I have your attention :).

Here was the lovely side dish, those are pieces of garlic yummmmm with asparagus and red bell pepper.  Tides you over while you're waiting for the ravioli dough to chill...


Pretty sure this was mushroom ravioli with some deliciously expensive soft mascarpone cheese :).  Just add salted boiling water, a pan of butter and sage, and a nice block of parmesan to grate over top.  You have yourself a little plate of happiness.

They were good even before the butter :).
