Aunt Annie's Cheese Ravioli Recipe

 My hubby's Aunt Annie gave me her recipe for cheese ravioli many years ago.  I don't add the nutmeg (our preference) but basically use this recipe to make mine.  Enjoy!

                                               An example of how Ravioli should look when finished. 




Filling:
2 lb. Ricotta
1/2 lb. grated Mozzarella cheese (coarse side)
2 egg yolks(no whites)
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 T parsley
dash nutmeg
salt and pepper


In a large bowl place ricotta, egg yolks, grated mozzarella, Romano cheese, parsley, pinch of salt and pepper.  Stir to mix well.  Follow dough recipe in link below.  Enjoy!

Happy Cooking from my kitchen to yours,

Chicken salad

This is my basic chicken salad recipe. I seldom change it because we really like it, it stores well and is great on a soft roll, toasted bread or along side your favorite green salad.

2 large chicken breasts

1 tsp salt

Cover chicken with water and bring to a boil allowing to simmer slightly covered about 1 hour.  Drain and set aside chicken to cool.

Add to the cooled chopped or shredded chicken Equal amounts of Miracle Whip and Mayonnaise, a pinch of salt ,chopped celery and refrigerate. The amount of Miracle Whip and Mayonnaise varies depending on how creamy you would like it.  Also you can add  A pinch of thyme if you like.  Mix well and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Today I topped this yummy chicken salad with sweet relish.  You can also add to this recipe grapes, dried cranberries and almonds.  It's a basic recipe so add ins will be a wonderful addition.  I don't add onion.  I feel onion is for tuna salad.  Just my opinion. :)
