If you've never had handmade pasta in Italy, you're missing out.
My mother in law makes ravioli by hand for special occasions:
* She mixes the flour, water and salt
* That is then spread out into sheets with the help of a hand-cranked machine.
* She then uses a cutting roller to cut those into the right shapes.
* Then the filling (mix of greens) goes into each one by hand and it's closed up.
* They get cooked.
* At the end they get a healthy bunch of ragù (bolognese meat sauce, if you must) on them.
I feel guilty eating them, because it takes hours and hours to do all that, and then it's gone in a few minutes it seems like.
