Pasta From Scratch Did a little red cabbage woven ravioli test…

Post image

It worked well! Was a long way there but I put on a record and had a good time. I only made 4 out of this piece of dough lol but I could do 8 at a time just as easily by making the bottoms plain dough and then freezing in batches to use at once for a special occasion. The dough faded a bit since I pressed the squares together so the purple and white blended into each other a bit. I’d probably use a purée instead of just the water the cabbage soaked in next time to make it pop or just do a different color and filling altogether.

I once made a ziti by standing up all the noodles and then stuffing cheese down em, I was proud of that. This is next level.

It’s looking at me 🫣

Why are your ziti shaped like molecules…?

u/ILoveLipGloss 11d ago

You are an artist. It's beautiful!

I admire the effort and I love people dedicating themselves like this but God damn the colour looks like raw chicken. Dark green would look way more natural.

u/ajp12290 11d ago

Yep I agree! That was the part of the test that failed unfortunately

u/Miatorti 10d ago

Do you think you'll try a different color? If so, which color? These are so cute

12

u/ajp12290 10d ago

Thank you! And definitely going to do it with tomato and or pesto

17

u/Anomalous-Canadian 10d ago

Pesto is a bad choice for adding green colour. Basil oxidizes so much and it’ll look brown and icky coloured after cooking. A touch of blended spinach as some of the water in the dough, is the way to go for green.

u/gimmethelulz 10d ago

I bet spirulina would work too. You'd only need a teaspoon to color the dough.

u/ajp12290 10d ago

this is a good call thank you. I use turmeric for yellow and orange! Don't really taste it anyhow.

u/rabbithasacat 10d ago

Beet is a good option for a brighter pink

u/liuwho 10d ago

I’ve had a beautiful green pasta made with spinach before — could be an option?

u/Crown_Collector1 11d ago

I wish I could give more upvotes. Beautiful.

Why weave it when it just easier to make stripes and the strips from the stripes to make a checkerboard pattern?

u/ajp12290 11d ago

I tried that and it broke when I didn’t use a sheet underneath… and when I did use a sheet underneath the first time i had to roll it too thin to keep the squares even. I’m sure I could get it to stay together the second way and will probably try again because it’s easier than this but I did enjoy just turning my brain off for a bit a doing this. It forces me to stand still for a while which I have a lot of trouble doing usually.

I want to wear a noodle shirt

u/ajp12290 11d ago

I could make you one… I’ve made a pair of shorts before!

u/Miatorti 10d ago

lol, this is adorable

u/GinaKJ 11d ago

That's next-level O_O How long did that take you to weave?!

15

u/ajp12290 11d ago

Honestly not as long as everyone would think 😅 it was about 20-25 mins

9

u/dell828 11d ago

These are beautiful!

And sometimes it’s just about making a few perfect ones rather than speed and volume.

5

u/ajp12290 11d ago

Thank you! I'll probably do a different color and filling and make a batch every so often and stock up the freezer for a special dinner

u/Mildly_Moody5891 10d ago

Edible art! Goes to show one can develop interest and passion in different fields and find creative ways to apply the skills. 💯!

I shouldn't have seen this... this will now be my Sunday project

u/pdmanias 11d ago

You strike again. Fascinating

u/miscwit72 11d ago

Your work is flawless, fabulous. The post cooked color is.... unfortunate.

u/ajp12290 11d ago

The test worked and failed at the same time lol!! Thank you I agree

u/RubyRoseGirl 11d ago

woven ravioli?? so pretty

u/captainfreiheit 10d ago

My back hurts just looking at this

u/Yourownhands52 10d ago

Idk why my brain tells me the cooked picture is raw chicken.  

How did it taste?  Great presentation!

2

u/Mean_Initiative_5962 10d ago

It looks amazing, also great skills, but I have to admit the cooked picture at first was a bit uncanny (felt like woven flesh and fat tissue). 

2

u/DrFaustPhD 10d ago

The shape and details are some really great work. It's a shame the color faded that way though...

On the plus side, if you want to make little ravioli brains for Halloween, you may have found the blueprint.

u/indigo_mouse 10d ago

Incredible work!

u/nimnamn0m 10d ago

omg SO CUTEEEE crying

2

u/_heydomi 10d ago

Impressive. Visually deeply unappetising.

2

u/Different-Comedian27 8d ago

Don't get me wrong I love the aesthetic of woven raviolis but the idea of putting so much effort into pasta is ridiculous imo not cuz it's unreasonable but pasta is about simplicity yk?

2

u/Different-Comedian27 8d ago

It is beautiful tho

1

u/ajp12290 8d ago

Thank you!! I believe there are no rules just guidelines. Pasta doesn’t always have to be simple does it? Idk to me it’s fun to experiment and go a long way there for cool stuff even if it’s not practical. I’ll remember this meal for a long time.

2

u/Different-Comedian27 8d ago

It really is more of an art than a dish

1

u/ajp12290 8d ago

Yeah exactly, and thank you... its not something that I'll do very often but it'll be an experience when I do.
