And then I saw the berry filled ravioli at Käfer. The color is very bright, and the pasta is very fresh, but I wasn't sure of what to expect. I purchased some fresh blueberries and strawberries from Viktualienmarkt and decided they would be a perfect accompaniment.
In my molecular cooking course, we learned that cinnamon and strawberries should not be paired together, so I was trying to think of another simple sauce to serve them with.(As a side note, if you are interested in what foods go together or provide suitable substitutes check out Food Pairing - some are unconventional, but it's a great resource!)
I probably should have gone with a healthier approach and simply pureed berries and served them over the top, but instead I made a vanilla sauce.
The flavor was interesting, but good. I don't know that I will be craving them anytime soon, especially because I prefer zesty foods, but I'm glad that we tried them.
I never told you that we tried the chocolate pasta. We served it with a light vanilla sauce and strawberries. Like your berry ravioli, a good taste, but not one I have found myself craving. Maybe its time to try berry ravioli.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know cinnamon and strawberry was bad. I tend to make peach and strawberry crumble and often use cinnamon if I'm out of nutmeg.
ReplyDeleteEmily, I love your pictures. The ravioli's look beautiful and that website will come in handy.

ReplyDeleteI bought the chocolate pasta for my mom, but we didn't try it. It's sort of strange eating sweet pasta... maybe I will get some and try to think of a good sauce to use with it.

I don't know that it's bad, but the flavors compete.

Thanks! I think that's what made me notice the raviolis in the first place - the pretty color.
