[1]I don’t make homemade pasta very often, but when I do, I love to make Ravioli. I tend to use Bette Hagman’s recipe for Bean flour pasta from her book “The Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy “, but there are a variety of gluten free recipes available if you don’t like bean flour. And, quite honestly, you can just as easily make pasta using rice flour and tapioca starch with good results, especially if you use eggs or egg replacer in a regular recipe. One of the nicest things someone ever did for me happened some years back when I was getting married. I had made friends with other “brides-to-be” and we were helping each other plan our weddings- no small feat. Anyway, one of these brides who happened to ALSO be a dance instructor who taught me and DH to waltz for our wedding, happened to throw a bridal shower party for all of us to enjoy together. Even though I wasn’t even the bride of honor, she made a rather odd request for some gluten free flour. I gave her some, and then when I arrived at her house for the party, she pointed out all the delicious homemade Italian food she had made – including a homemade GLUTEN FREE lasagna using the flours I’d brought over. I was absolutely blown away. She had just followed a regular recipe, and made the best lasagna EVER using only a GF flour substitution. My hero. Or, should I say, heroine. Her success made me think that I should be making my own pasta, too.

[3] Homemade gluten free pasta is just as tasty as the gluten version, according to DH. I’ve put him in charge of using our pasta machine because somehow he has this knack for it, and can produce beautiful sheets of pasta in half the time I can. Meanwhile, I get to enjoy my favorite parts – making the filling and sauce, and plating these beauties. This time I decided to make several varieties, all centered around pumpkin. I made one ball of vegan dough, using tofu to replace the eggs, and one ball of regular eggy dough. According to DH they were equally easy to roll out, and although the tofu pasta had a tofu aroma when raw, it vanished when the pasta was cooked. I also experimented with pasta fillings, making two vegan fillings and one cheesy one, just in case DH would feel left out. The results were absolutely delicious, and thanks to making a double batch, I was able to freeze about half the recipe (uncooked ravioli, sans sauce) for a future ravioli night. Yum! Making gluten-free ravioli is time consuming, but the results are definitely worth it. And, any extra filling can be used on some gluten-free pasta (Mrs. leepers etc.) in a tasty pasta dish. The next day I enjoyed the top pumpkin filling on pasta with extra margarine and with nutritional yeast. It might not have been DH’s cup of tea, but it was a perfect lunch for me. (He loved the vegan and non-vegan ravioli equally and enthusiastically.) So, why not get out that pasta machine and roll yourself out some vegan (or non-vegan) ravioli? I think you’ll enjoy the results…

Gluten Free Vegan Pumpkin Ravioli with Pine Nut Cream
|

Ingredients
1 recipe Bette Hagman Bean Flour Pasta, made without eggs, substituting equal amounts of silken tofu for eggs
Filling: Garnish: Sauce: Optional- pecans for garnish
Directions
Filling:
Warm the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onions and saute until they are browned, about 10 minutes. Throw in your nuts and saute for another minute or two. Add the squash, mixing until it is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat, place in bowl and reserve. Ravioli: Sauce: Add a dollop of extra pumpkin filling and pine nut cream on top. Garnish with a pecan, fresh sage or basil if desired.
Notes
The pine nut cream is excellent, but the ravioli filling needs a little work. I used macadamia nuts but the flavor was dominated by the pumpkin, so I would use a less expensive nut next time.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Ravioli Recipe
|
||
Ingredients
1 recipe Bette Hagman Bean Flour Pasta, made with eggs
Filling: Sauce: Parmesan cheese shavings
Directions
Roast your pumpkin and scoop out the pumpkin filling, mashing and set aside. Or, open can.
Filling: Mix together and knead your ravioli dough, according to your recipe. Use plenty of cornstarch so that the dough isn’t sticky. Put out a strip of the pasta and put a tablespoon or so of filling (either just pumpkin filling or filling topped with pine nut cream) every inch or so, covering the pasta with another sheet of dough and then using a knife or ravioli cutter to create your ravioli. Seal edges with water. Sauce: Garnish with fresh sage or basil if desired. |
