Would you bankroll my muffin shop?

Because we've been in school since January 4th and will not be done with academic classes until June 4, the lovely higher-ups at the SON gave us today off. I took that very liberally and decided not to deal with anything school related for the entire day. I now have at least 30 emails in my inbox that I must attend to related to the two group projects I'm involved with, but first things first!

NW and I have lived here for a year now. Our third roommate moved in last August. We've probably eaten about 10 meals together, total, including holidays like Easter and Thanksgiving. This blog has brought us to the table once again--tonight we collaborated to make a fancy dinner that none of us had eaten before--homemade (gluten free) ravioli filled with ricotta with pumpkin sauce.

The pasta making:

Not gonna lie, this ravioli did not turn out great. I think it would have tasted wonderful if we had used regular flour, but I am adamant about staying with this gluten free thing. My roommates suffered for me. Thanks guys!

We got the dough recipe from this arugula and goat cheese ravioli. It really may be good, I don't know. Someone try it with real flour? 

The filling turned out just fine--we mixed some spices into ricotta and then brushed the dough with egg wash to make the two sides stick together.

The best part of the meal, by far, was the pumpkin sauce. It sounds crazy, but it was delicious!

We nixed the nutmeg and substituted milk for cream (it didn't seem worth it to buy a carton of heavy cream for three measly tablespoons). I didn't get a shot of the sauce on the ravioli, but let me just inform you that NW was eating the sauce with a spoon straight from the pot. That good.

In conclusion, if this blog does nothing else for us, at least we got one more night of cooking together before roomie #3 goes home for the summer. :)
