Fried Homemade Ravioli

A long, long time ago, I made macaroni by hand.  It was actually pretty easy.  Cost-wise, I knew I wouldn't make the plain stuff again (I can get it for a great price with minimal ingredients), but the ravioli was a dream.  It was cheap to make, and I could do it any number of ways.  

Then, I never made it again.  

That changed this past weekend.  

First, I mixed together flour, water, salt, and an egg.  

I started with 1 cup of flour and 1 egg, and just kept adding water and flour until it was a dough-like consistency.  Once it was ready, I rolled it out.  

Then, I pulled out my handy-dandy ravioli cutters.  Last time, I used glasses to make the circles, but since then, I treated myself to ravioli sealer/cutters.  I feel so fancy!

I filled it in with a little butternut squash puree.  

Then, I sealed it!

Now, normally, I would just boil them.  This time was different.  This time... was fried!  John just discovered that I had never experienced fried ravis and set out to remedy that.  He breaded them...

Fried them up in coconut oil...

...and served them with roasted veggies!
