6th week

This week we made spinach and cheese ravioli with a tomato sauce and profiteroles with a chocolate sauce. We started with the profiteroles which went perfectly and were surprisingly easy, once we filled them with cream we made the chocolate sauce which went wrong twice and when we made it the third time we used a different recipe and it was perfect. We put our pile of profiteroles to the side and made a tomato sauce ready for the pasta, it was quite easy so nothing went wrong. We also pre-made the spinach and cheese filling which we made almost totally wrong as we didn't read the recipe first and so didn't cook the spinach before adding it to the cheese and didn't beat the eggs, we corrected it and put it outside to chill because the fridge was full.
The pasta!!! aaahhhh the recipe lies someone who doesn't own a pasta machine should never ever even attempt to make pasta! The dough is fine to make, even the kneading isn't that hard but the rolling out took us nearly three hours IT WAS NOT FUN! All that was left to do though was to fill each rectangle of pasta with some filling, make a salad and cook them.
But the rolling wasn't the only bit that was tricky, the cooking just didn't work. The recipe said to cook them for 5 minutes and we cooked them for nearly 30 minutes. 
The pasta was disgusting definitely a fail but the sauce and salad were nice. The profiteroles were amazingly Delicious and scrummy yummy!
