Week Three - Potato Ravioli

One of the presents I received for Christmas was a small recipe book for using potatoes in lots of different ways. It looks a good book with quite a few nice sounding recipes in it, and given that potatoes are one of the free foods on my diet I looked to the book this week for my latest recipe.

The first thing that caught my eye was a potato ravioli, something I'd never considered making before, but looked nice in the pictures, sounded simple enough to make and wouldn't break my newly started diet. I tried to make it last night, and it turned into a bit of a disaster. The ravioli filling mixture was easy to make and tasted fine, however the potato dough to make the ravioli just didn't work. The dough was far too sticky, and when I tried to parcel everything together, it all just broke apart.

I had hoped that presentation may not matter, and that the end product would still taste ok, but that wasn't to be. It just tasted bland, and not at all like I imagined. In the end I gave up, cooked some penne and stirred that through the remaining ravioli mixture, which was at least edible! Definitely not a recipe I will be trying again!
