Ravioli

Small Kitchen

Mike likes to cook; it is one of his hobbies. Think slow food, not fast food. On this occasion he made a ravioli dinner from scratch. And since the kitchen in our flat is quite small (see photo), and equipped with just the basics, it took him the better part of a half-day. He made pasta dough, rolled it into thin squares (using a cylindrical water bottle since we don't have a rolling pin), finely diced and mixed a half-dozen vegetables for the filling (by hand since we don't have a food processor),  stuffed the ravioli, then boiled and pan fried the ravioli.

He also made the sauce from scratch by finely dicing and sautéing a dozen different vegetables, simmering them with fresh tomatoes and puree, adding a half-dozen spices, and reducing the sauce to thicken. Yummy stuff.
