Taste of Italy: Ricotta Cappuccino Cannoli

legalcat writes: Happy Holidays, Sally!

John bought us the KitchenAid® Stand-Mixer Pasta Attachment Set and it works much better than the kind you have to attach to the edge of the counter. It really is much easier to roll the cannoli dough this way, so it's very thin. We also just made some roasted butternut squash ravioli and that turned out nicely.

I love Mario and those cannoli videos are great! Posted: 11:30 pm on December 27th

I like your idea of using the pasta machine to roll the dough. A group of my friends and I are going to get together to master the art of pasta making. What kind of pasta machine do you use?
