Homemade sun-dried tomato ravioli is a labor of love that is completely worth the extra effort. It’s hard to beat fresh pasta, especially with a basil cream sauce for ravioli as well.
Happy Valentine’s Day!! What do you have planned today?
I am going to the Brooks Museum with some friends for a visiting internet cat video film festival! It’s going to be absolutely ridiculous and I cannot wait. After all, I don’t need to do anything mushy today because I already celebrated Valentine’s Day over the past weekend when I visited my boyfriend (Fast-forward 5 years to my husband).
We made the sun-dried tomato ravioli that I am sharing with you today! Complete with a basil cream sauce for ravioli too.
I packed my ravioli press in my luggage, but unfortunately my stand mixer + pasta rolling attachments were unable to come with me. So the BF used his muscles to roll out this dough by hand with a rolling pin. Serious dedication. He even got creative and made a little heart ravioli for me out of the last pieces of dough (which you can make out on the top of the pile of the original photo at the bottom of the post).
Ten years later I have been married to that BF of mine for almost 5 years and we actually recreated this very meal together for Valentine’s Day this year, from the sun-dried tomato ravioli right down to the giant Reese’s stuffed cookie for dessert. We’re so stinking cute. But this time we used the pasta rollers because he doesn’t need to impress me anymore – hahaha.
So stay at home tonight with your favorite person, and make these sun-dried tomato ravioli for/with them (pro-tip: it freezes well for prepping ahead). Serve with some roasted brussels sprouts and a nice glass of wine. Oh and don’t forget dessert! How about an easy Heart-Shaped Reese’s Stuffed Cookie for Two stuffed with a 5 ounce heart-shaped Reese’s?
In mom news, her MRA had to be postponed yesterday due to some minor things and as a result was not able to go home yesterday. But I talked to her and she sounds good although still tired. Best part is her vision has already started to improve!

[…] cheese and herbs, etc. You can also change up the dough flavor (I’ve done whole wheat and sun-dried tomato). And then as a bonus if you have any dough leftover, you can just cut it up into fettucine and […]
