Receta Recipe For Carrot Purée Ravioli
Findus sent me a few gift vouchers which I could use at my local Pick n Pay to buy which ever of their vegetables I chose. I had an idea for a carrot purée ravioli lurking in my head and decided to use the vouchers to buy the frozen baby carrots. I would not ordinarily buy frozen carrots but for this recipe it made perfect sense as baby carrots are easier to work with when making a purée and the hard work of peeling the carrots had already been done for me. The trick is to get the carrots super soft. You want to be able to mash them with the back of a spoon. The other reason for making this dish was that I had read you could freeze ravioli. I find it easier to make a big batch and so I set about making enough for Dave and I for one meal as well as enough for us to have as a starter the next time we had guests. Once the ravioli were made I placed them onto a tray without overlapping them. I then put the tray into the freezer. As soon as the ravioli had frozen I put them into a freezer container. When we were ready to use the frozen carrot purée ravioli I brought a pot of water to the boil, added some salt and then the frozen ravioli. As soon as the water came back to the boil, I started the timer. And they were perfect! I am so going to repeat this the next time I make pasta.
