About Me

This is me, The Rat...partner since 2001 to Concrete_Man, mum to Rat_Girl (born 13.12.05) and Rat_Boy (born 14.05.09). Co-inhabiting our nest are 2 rather large fury 4 legged rats, Boxer_Dog and Black_Dog. We run a business from the nest with Concrete_Man doing the manly physical work while I stay at home and do the 'other' stuff. This means we are often busy, often stressed and often very tired...but then again who isn't! Anyway that's enough for now. As time goes by you will learn a bit more about the family that is "MummaRat's Nest"

My first attempt at homemade pasta

Firstly I need to apologise for the photo.  My camera was flashing battery warning so I grabbed Concrete_man's camera managed to snap off just 1 photo as he was pulling his plate away from me!


I've never made pasta before, let alone ravioli, but for a first attempt with not many tools I think I did ok.

The verdict I think m dough was a little dry and even thought I rolled it out as thin as I could I think it was still a little thick.  But it got eaten so that is the main thing.  For the filing I just boiled and mashed some vegies and mixed with some egg and breadcrumbs to help it stick...no idea if that was the right thing to do but it tasted fine.  Rat_boy enjoyed sucking the centre out of his ravioli

Concrete_man is really only a fan of bolognese sauce so that is what it was topped with....that part was delish!  Thank god I made enough to freeze. 

I definatley want to give it another go, I really love the idea of making pasta myself.
