Making homemade pasta is not difficult, just a bit time consuming depending on what type you are making. I love to make stuffed pasta and nothing is better than butternut squash stuffed ravioli. I toss these in a brown butter sauce and sever them as an appetizer or a side with a steak dinner – delish!
