It has been a jam-packed couple of weeks for the Cream Puff. Work has been incredibly busy and there’s been lots going on with family and friends between the Thanksgiving holiday and other events.
This is going to be a quick Magazine Mondays post but I definitely wanted to take the time to share with you a pasta dish that I made quite some time ago. I’d actually forgotten about these little beauties until recently, when I read a beautiful book that I’m looking forward to talking about very soon on this blog. You’re just going to have to wait for the details.
In the meantime, the pasta triangles you see above are my attempt at making pansotti, also often spelled as pansoti. I didn’t know what pansotti were until I saw a recipe for them in Issue 1 of Taste Italia magazine. They’re basically large ravioli stuffed with a filling of cheese and often bread soaked in milk. As far as I can tell, they’re not filled with meat.
I was happy to try them but I can’t say I was blown away by the recipe. It seemed like a lot of work to make the filling and I wasn’t happy with the pasta as it ended up being a bit on the touch side. Still, though, I’m hoping to try them again soon.
As you know, Magazine Mondays is an opportunity for everyone to dig into that magazine pile and try some new recipes. Here’s who’s joined me for this week’s edition:
Tia of Buttercream Barbie (cute name!) made a Marbled Mocha Cake from Gourmet magazine.
Wandering Coyote of ReTorte made some gorgeous Lemon Ricotta Pancakes from Canadian Living magazine.
Erica from the charming Cooking for Seven made a New York Cheesecake from Martha Stewart Living.
Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies made Cranberry Nut Rolls from Bon Appétit.
Allison of LemonBasil brings us a beautiful triburte to Gourmet magazine.
Emily of Sandmuffin made a gorgeous Applesauce Cake.
Janie of Panini Girl made an Eggplant, Zucchini and Fennel Casserole from Taste of Italia.
Thanks to everyone that took part. Remember that Magazine Mondays is a very informal event. You can participate any time. All you have to do is send me the link to a post you’ve done about a magazine recipe.
Have a great week, everyone!
Ciao!

They look gorgeous, but I’m sorry you were disappointed with them. It always sucks when you spend a lot of time on something & it turns out to not be worth the effort.
Looking forward to reading about this book you mentioned!
tia
so professional looking. i want some now!

Too bad they weren’t what you’d hoped but it’s always worth a try! I already printed out Wandering Coyote’s pancakes and I’m off to check out Emily’s applesauce cake and all the others. Mmmm…mmm
Maria
Sorry they weren’t a favorite!
Natashya
I haven’t heard of pansotti before, they look great.
Is Taste Italia on sale anywhere in TO? I’d like to check out a copy.

Ohhh, I’ve been wanting to make homemade raviolis for a while now. I just tried my first homemade pasta with a mushroom ale sauce, but the pasta was a bit thicker than i had intended. These look tasty even if they didn’t turn out exactly how you had intended.

I shall give ‘em a try. And the
“Lemon Ricotta Pancakes from Canadian Loving magazine” sound delightful.
Ah yes Canadian Loving. Funny.
Vicki
Awesome project! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at a magazine and wanted to attempt this recipe and that recipe. Gonna have to try it sometime…
