I am a chaotic cook.Can I even call myself a cook? I tend to think that means like a professional cooking person.I do not know, but for the sake of this I will just call myself a cook.Anyways, I a ma chaotic cook, a whirling dervish of clouds of flour dust, stir stains and a cloud of seasoning and herbs floating the hemisphere of my kitchen.

But, the messes, the dirty dishes, it all can lead to something worthwhile, and beyond tasty.That is what happened, today.

Today’s messy fun was making some raviolis.I understand completely why many would just buy pre-made, and why omnivores would probably be perfectly fine with even a can of the. The work behind them is quite a lot.Staggering, really.Or something.

Anyways, here you have fried butternut squash raviolis. I doubt anyone will be hopping off to their kitchen to make them, especially after my selling you on them taking so much effort and work, and the mess that follows.But, eh, whatever.

I made my pasta dough with a combination of chickpea and semolina flour.It gave it a nice little flavor.

Raviolis Ingredients.
- 2 cups of semolina flour.
- 1 and 1/2 cups of chickpea flour.
- About a cup of water.
- 2 teaspoons of pepper.
- A few dashes of salt.
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 2 cups of pureed butternut squash.You can steam it till it is soft, then puree in a food processor.
- 1/2 cup of diced onion.
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 1/4th cup of vegan sour cream.
- 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast.
- 1 tablespoon of vegan Parmesan cheese.I got this little shaker of it at my local store that sells a lot of vegan stuff.
- A teaspoon of nutmeg.
- A few dashes of salt.
- A few dashes of pepper.
- A cup of soy milk.
- 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
- 1 tablespoon of egg-replacer.
- A cup or two of panko breadcrumbs.
- Oil for frying.

Are you ready? I am not even sure I am ready to tell you how to do it, as it is making me tired just thinking about it.I would make a horrible car salesman.

Anyways, combine the chickpea flour and the semolina flour in bowl, add the pepper and salt, and then the water and oil.Mix and kneed the dough.Cover with a towel and let it sit and chill while you make the filling.OKay? Okay.

IN a pan, heat up the tablespoon of oil, and saute the onions till they soften up, add the squash, and then add the sour cream, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, and the vegan parmesan.Stir, mix, do what you will , and let it cook a couple of minutes.You are done with your filling.

Now, I use a ravioli maker, but you can taste your time and roll out the dough and make your own shapes and make your own ravioli.I will not be helping you with that, sorry.

You can use google, it is very handy.

if you have a ravioli maker, just follow my lead.Roll out some dough on a floured surface, and when it is rolled out thin enough place it on your raviloi maker thingy.Fill in the craters with your filling, about a tablespoon, and proceed.Cover with another piece of rolled out dough, and continue till you have a bunch of raviolis.

I should add, when you are making them, you should really have a large pot of water boiling.So, you can cook them.Duh!

To cook them, place them in the boiling water, in small amounts, and when they pop up to the surface and lighten a bit in color, they are ready to go.I am rarely ready to go, ever.But. my food is. That makes no sense.

So, you have cooked your raviolis.Now we can make them super unhealthy and fry the tasty bastards.

Mix the soy milk with the vinegar, then stir in the egg-replacer.You will be doing this in a bowl, not a plate, as that would make a bit of a mess.In another bowl place your breadcrumbs.Heat up oil for frying in a pan, I would say about an inch and a half, or so.I heated mine up to medium heat.

Dunk the raviolis in the milk, then the breadcrumbs and place in your frying pan full of hot oil.Be careful, please.I fried about 4-5 at a time, cooking on each side or a few minutes.Just repeat till you have fried them all.Or, I fried some , and kept some others non-fried.

You will wanna know about that sauce, too? Okay.

Sage Butter Sauce Ingredients.
- 3 tablespoon of Earth Balance.
- 1 tablespoon of Sage.
- 1 tablespoon of flour.
- 3/4th cup of vegetable stock.

Okie dokie, first off, melt the butter down in a pan, then stir in the sage.Meanwhile, mix the stock and flour, and then add that to the melted butter and sage.Let it hit up, it will slightly thicken.Stir and stir well.

Place some ravioli on a plate, pour some sauce over it, top with some fresh parsley, and you have quite a tasty meal.I assure you.You should listen to me.
