Rep Power: 1  |  Wonton Wrappers for ravioli's
Have seen Giada use them. Has anyone tried them?
Sounds a bit odd o use Chinese wrappers for Italian food, but what do I know 
Tried making her ravioli dough before (the type which uses just hot water and dough). I bought an Imperia pasta maker, but have not used it yet.
I am trying to learn.

Rep Power: 1 | I've used them a few times a LOOONG time ago. When you boil them they are fine, but I hate how they crisp up when you fry/dry cook them... like wontons they get all bubbly and i can't get over the chinese-food feeling of their texture.
She should have called them nutella wontons not nutella ravioli. | |

Rep Power: 10 | You can get sheets of pasta, you might ask your store if they can find it for you. There are a few places online, but it gets a little expensive when you have to pay shipping, so if your store can order it for you it would be better. fresh pasta .com - online fresh pasta, ravioli and sauce superstore
I would like to have the pasta attachment for my kitchenaid mixer.

I would like to have the pasta attachment for my kitchenaid mixer. | I just taught a class at Williams-Sonoma on making fresh pasta.
In one hour, we made pasta, made a pasta sauce, cooked the pasta and a class of 25 ate pasta.
Why would anyone buy fresh pasta over the Internet?
If you don't have a KA pasta set (selling at $149.99), you can buy the hand crank rollers and cutters at $19.99 to $34.99 at 8 matches for: pasta machine - Cooking.com
They work just fine and you won't have to wait for Xmas.

NASOYA: Pasta > Won Ton Wraps
This is what gives them their texture and the propensity to "bubble up" when fried.
Real Italian ravioli pasta is made with whole eggs and has a "softer" texture and doesn't "bubble up".

Rep Power: 1 | Clove,
This shows which pasta maker I bought. I have not tried it yet, am a bit nervous to.
But, I suppose the worst that can happen is, I have to start over. Saw a woman making fresh pasta the other day on TV. Looked delicious. Imperia Pasta Maker Guide
