Lesson #1. As a shortcut the recipe calls for won-ton wrappers for the outside. I tried three stores and could not find the wrappers! How difficult could it be to just make the pasta wrapper myself right? The answer turned out to be very difficult. I made the dough just fine with a simple flour, water, and eggs recipe found online. Peter and I then rolled out the pasta and formed them into little raviolis with the filling. When we sat down to eat it, it turned out that we didn't roll out the dough NEARLY enough and ended up with a gooey outside and a tough inside. I'm looking into getting the pasta attachment for my kitchen aid for next time
Lesson #2. The sauce was a Gorgonzola cream sauce made by heating non fat milk and flour and then mixing in gorgonzola cheese. The only milk I had however was the Over The Moon brand non fat but tastes like whole milk. This turned out to be the wrong choice, and the tastes like whole aspect of the milk made the sauce much too thick. Next time I may look into making a brown butter sauce instead.
