Looks great!

Do you have a pasta machine or you roll your ravioli by hand? Considering getting one mainly because I want to make ravioli, but not sure if I should take the leap.

The 'ravioli' in MypinchofItaly's photos is made with puff pastry not pasta dough, so definitely not made using a pasta machine.

Sorry - maybe you meant your question more generally about pasta. I think if you want to make ravioli then experiment without a machine first. I do have a machine but frankly rarely use it. Its easier to roll pasta by hand for smaller quantities. Have you made made pasta (a simple tagliatelle) from scratch before? If not, do that before you try making ravioili.

Usually thinly-sliced roast beef, maybe some Swiss cheese (melted), maybe some grilled onion, on a baguette-style roll. Beef au jus on the side for dipping the sandwich into.

Banana, mocha & pistachio jello-mousse for dessert (as the cake it was supposed to fill didn't work out).

Yes. The roll on the one I had today was not crusty. But, the meat an jus were good, so overall it was decent.

Oh you're right - I didn't read it properly.

But yes, in general, I think I'll have a go at hand rolling ravioli. Never made pasta from scratch so will try some tagliatelle as you suggest.
