Hey! I'm was thinking a pasta dough recipe is always gonna be pretty much the same but for some reason the last time i made ravoli, the pasta i made tasted like nothing and bland. Is there some great ingredient that makes it have more taste or does anyone have a good recipe?

Thanks for any help

Here's the dough recipe I use (page down to find it). It's quick and easy. Don't forget, if you want to add flavor, you can always mince some fresh herbs and add it to the dough.

thanks for the recipe theresa, it does look similar to what i used before so maybe i was just being too picky cose most pasta usually isn't FULL of flavour without something else with it lol

I did find a recipe for ravoli pasta that has Semolina flour in it as well as all-purpose flour, does anyone know why they would use semolina flour?

Here's the best explanation I can find -

All I knew before I found this is that it's used to make pasta.

oh ok so it's just like other flours just not as fine, hadn't heard of it before so i thought maybe it was meant to give the pasta a better taste or something lol

Thanks for all the help theresa

It does have a richer taste than regular flour, I'm not sure why. But it's why it's used when making many artisan white breads.
