+
+
+#### Recipe
+
+**Make the dough first beacuse it needs to sit for 30 minutes**
+
+1.  Mix flour and salt together
+2.  Beat eggs and egg yolks and add to the flour
+3.  Mix until fully incorporated then knead for about 10 minutes- should
+    be firm but not too grainy
+4.  Wrap in plastic wrap and let sit for 30 minutes
+
+{{< line_break >}}
+
+
+
+**While dough sits start with the Pesto Sauce needed for the filling**
+
+1.  Combine all the pesto ingredients into blender/food processor and
+    let\'er rip**\[I used a blender and just make sure it doesn\'t purée
+    the mixture\]**
+2.  That\'s it, make sure it tastes good by making sure it doesn\'t need
+    some extra salt
+
+{{< line_break >}}
+
+
+**Making the Filling**
+
+1.  Mix your pesto, the ricotta, and the mozzarella together
+2.  That\'s it! Cooking is easy-peazy
+
+{{< line_break >}}
+
+
+**Back to the dough and putting everything together**
+
+1.  Use the pasta roller or rolling pin to flatten the dough into a
+    sheet **\[add some flour to your rolling device so the dough
+    doesn\'t get stuck or sticky\]**
+2.  Cut out ravioli sized squares **\[whatever your heart says that size
+    is\]**
+3.  Put a dollop of your filling in the middle of one of your squares
+4.  Very lightly wet the edges of the square with the dollop and another
+    square**\[makes the edges sticky again\]**
+5.  Lay the undolloped square on top the dolloped square and gently
+    pinch the edges together
+6.  Then use a fork to smoosh the edges more and give them a classic
+    ravioli look
+7.  Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook a few of the ravioli at a
+    time for about 4 minutes **\[they can stick together if they touch
+    while cooking which isn\'t too big of a deal but crowding is
+    generally a bad idea from my xp\]**
+8.  Then plate and add a tiny bit of butter and Parmesan.
+9.  Eat the food

+#### Log
+
+I really dislike dried pasta. I feel like a lot of recipes say to cook
+pasta **al dente** but, if dried, you get a hard, chalky, stale center.
+I also think that making your own pasta dough is typically fast, easy,
+and tastes infinitely better.
+
+Given this is my first *Cooking* post **\[my first anything other than
+Web Development post actually\]**, I\'ll preface it with my experience
+with cooking **\[or the lack thereof\]**. In all honesty, I just
+recently started cooking regularly. In the past I would get inspired to
+cook something but get discouraged when it didn\'t turn out as good as I
+wanted **\[even if the liars in my life said it was good\]**, and would
+go back to grabbing Taco Bell after work. Recently I decided that
+cooking should be approached like any other skill - starting at the
+basics and following guides until you gain the knowledge and confidence
+to experiment **\[and filled with feeling like you are terrible
+regardless of how much you progress\]**. So because I still am very much
+a beginner, I\'ll be following a lot of online recipes until I gain the
+confidence to refactor dishes for myself.
+
+With that out of the way, I\'ll continue onto one of the meals I made
+this week.
+
+I found a recipe for [Easy Homemade Pesto
+Ravioli](https://frugalnovice.com/homemade-pesto-ravioli/)
+which used store bought pesto sauce and the
+link to the ravioli dough 404\'d. So because I knew I wanted to make my
+own dough **\[given my rant at the start\]** I thought why not keep
+everything *Homemade*, including the pesto sauce.
+
+So I found the recipe for [ravioli
+dough](https://saltandbaker.com/how-to-make-ravioli/)
+and [pesto sauce](https://damndelicious.net/2014/07/05/easy-homemade-pesto/)
+and put all three of these recipes together.
+
+It turned out pretty tasty and I especially like having the light butter
+as the sauce topping as I always felt the whole point of ravioli was to
+have the flavor come from the stuffing and not the sauce on top.
+
+I realize how stupid I am now for not taking pictures of the process so
+you can judge if you think it looks good but uhhh\... yeah. I didn\'t
+take any pictures so I guess you just have to trust me that it was good.
