WD,

Hopefully this works....you could probably change it up for shrimp if you don't like salmon and hopefully you can get wonton wrappers at your local supermarket rather than making your own dough.
[h=1]Salmon Ravioli with White Wine and Butter Sauce[/h] mangiabenepasta.com/ravioli_salmon_filled.html

[h=5]Salmon Ravioli with White Wine and Butter Sauce[/h]
This delicious ravioli recipe has a filling of cooked salmon, shallots, and cheese, with just a hint of lemon flavor. You can use some leftover salmon that has been sauteed, poached, or grilled, as long as it was not too highly seasoned when originally cooked. If you prefer to use fresh salmon, you can cut it into small pieces and saute it with the shallots. The white wine and butter sauce pairs beautifully with the delicate salmon ravioli but a simple garlic and butter or butter and dill sauce would also work well.
Ingredients:
Pasta Dough:
(Makes about 1 pound)
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 to 3 tablespoon lukewarm water
Salmon Filling:
(Fills about forty-eight 3-inch ravioli)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 shallot, chopped
12 ounces cooked salmon
1/3 cup mascarpone or ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 egg
Salt and pepper
White Wine and Butter Sauce:
(Makes enough sauce for 12 to 18 ravioli)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon flour
Salt and pepper
1 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Directions:
To make the pasta dough:
Put the flour, eggs, salt and olive oil in a food processor. Pulse several times to blend the ingredients. Add the water,1 tablespoon at a time, just until dough starts to come together. Avoid adding too much water or the dough will be too sticky to roll. It may still look dry but can be gathered into a ball. Gather the dough into a ball and place on a floured surface. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover with a bowl or towel and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Follow the directions for How to Form Ravioli
To make the salmon filling:
Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet. Saute the shallot until tender, 2-3 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a food processor. Add the remaining filling ingredients. Pulse until the ingredients are well combined but not pureed.
To make the sauce:
Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the shallot; sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender. Add the garlic; sauté for 1 more minute. Stir in the flour and season with salt and pepper.
Continue cooking and stirring until the flour just begins to get a little golden.
Add the wine; stir until the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the remaining butter, one tablespoon at a time.
Stir in the thyme; check the seasoning. Pour over cooked ravioli.
Serve with Parmesan cheese.

Rusty, I tried a garden once. The deer ate everything, even the watermelon. Mr WD said it wasn't a garden, it was a feeding plot. :laughing9:

A few shots in the air with a gun, and some deterrents keep everything away. Mostly.

Rusty,

Check out some of the videos on permaculture it's amazing how much you can grow using that method. On the vegetable side of things search for videos on square foot gardening same deal there lots of produce in a compact space. You can grow up to 10 times the produce in the same space versus standard commercial farms.

Evening Everyone,
Bill, I'll 2nd you, on the square foot garden method. Hi yield if you can keep the critters and pest away. Was doing it at the old place and again here at the new place.
Nothing like fresh organic produce.

There always seemed to be at least one kid riding the school bus. That and old lunch food, crammed up in the lip of the edge of lunch room tables. Seconds had something to do with that. Had to have a clean tray to get any seconds of the good stuff.

Good stuff for us were stuff like the fresh baked rolls, kind of like large King's Hawaiian Dinner rolls. Those were one of my favorites.

Anyone stocking up for the coronavirus?

Not really, except some stuff I would have gotten around to over the next few weeks anyway, I'm trying to do over the weekend instead. Animal food and stuff, fill the gas cans, Was also thinking of filling the camping jugs with tap water just for the heck of it.

We already have camping stuff, might be help a lot if camp fires, lanterns or something were needed, if the power goes out. Was thinking grandkids, but guess they all have electronic devices now.
