On Sunday I made chicken noodle soup for DW for an appreciation luncheon today at her work, and she brought the leftover home tonight. Added a couple toasted ham-n-cheese sammies and we called it dinner.


I also made 4 dozen Sweet Potato & Mascarpone ravioli, and 6 dozen 4-cheese ravioli for our son's birthday dinner on Saturday. All were frozen then bagged for Saturday.
Sorry, too much flour all over to bring out the camera.



Sweet Potato & Mascarpone Ravioli


· 2 sweet potatoes, peeled, boiled then mashed

· 1/2 vanilla bean (scrape out inside then mix with mascarpone..toss bean skin)

· 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
· 1/2 Tablespoon orange juice
· Zest from ½ navel orange
· 1T Brown sugar
· Salt to taste


Combine it all until smooth with your hand mixer and put into your favorite pasta dough with #100 disher. I roll my dough to #3 thickness with my pasta machine, and use a [ame="http://www.amazon.com/CucinaPro-135-12-Ravioli-Tray-Square/dp/B002HWS79K"]ravioli form[/ame]. Makes 4 dozen.
