There’s really nothing like homemade pasta. And when it comes to ravioli, it doesn’t get much better than this chai spiced butternut squash and goat cheese filling. Since this meal is a little bit labor intensive, I paired it with a simple sauce of brown butter and some crispy sage. The flavors come together beautifully, and while the process of making it may be involved, it’s also a lot of fun. When it comes to making fresh pasta, most people assume that you need an abundance of advanced skills and special equipment. Those things don’t hurt, but I’m here to tell you that they’re not a necessity. The dough itself only contains a few ingredients. And while a pasta roller will certainly make your life easier, it’s not essential. A simple rolling pin will suffice. In fact, even an impromptu rolling pin like a wine bottle will do in a pinch. Same goes for ravioli stamps. They may give your ravioli a more polished look, but if you don’t have one it’ll be ok. You can always crimp the edges with a fork. The end result may be more rustic, but it’ll still taste great!
