It's one of the ones I make again and again.

Unfortunately, I didn't think they were worth the effort - just too bland. Maybe I didn't put in enough nutmeg or use enough sage, since your recipe didn't specify the amounts (is your bunch of sage the same size as mine?). But at least your pasta dough directions were pretty clear, and after a while I got the hang of the pasta machine so it was fun, plus I used the leftover dough for spaghetti noodles for lunch yesterday. So even though it's a lot of kneading to make pasta I'm hoping you'll have more recipes so that I can justify having bought the machine.

Thank you so much for this post. I am going to try your different dumpling recipes to see if they're what I've been searching for. I've tried them only a couple of times and so far I haven't found the right combination to really knock my socks off. Oh, and the picture of that cake literally made me want to lick my screen.

As I read through your dumpling article, I was thrilled to see you list Turkish manti among ravioli and wontons. Just wanted to mention though that while manti is served in a yogurt sauce, it is not called ayran. Ayran is a popular yogurt drink while the sauce over manti is just garlic yogurt with some paprika flavored melted butter poured on top. Sometimes we sprinkle dried mint over it too. Just thought I would mention it - really just an excuse to leave a comment and tell you I'm a big big fan!
