Loved this pasta. It really helps to have a Cuisinart to kneed the dough, a pasta machine to roll it out (works WONDERS) and a pastry wheel. Since I have all three of these tools, this was a breeze to make. I have also made a lot of other homemade pasta. If you have never made it, give it a try but set aside some "learing time" to get used to the process. I used Mace instead of nutmeg as it is a bit warmer. I used regular canned sauce and it was yummy. Worth the work. The only thing I need to practice is not getting air into the pockets as the ravioli floats to the top then. I also had a few "blow out" while boilding. You'll want to gently simmer this to keep the ravioli pillows intact.

I loved this but had to add a bit of New Mexico's Hatch Green Chilies to spice it up a bit. I also added a dash of Louisiana Hot Sauce. I pressure cooked the beans and had wonderful ham to add. I also added lots of cut up tomatoes from my freezer as I had a bumper crop of tomatoes last year. Good hearty, THICK and filling soup. Great for watching weight. Omit the ham for a vegan treat.
