So how did I score that fabulous ravioli and make an amazing Farmers Market alfredo sauce to go with it? Well, I hustled over to the Durham Farmers’ Market after work (it’s open from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays). And I saw a woman standing behind a folding table with a small sign advertising Ravioli for $7.50. My stomach ached for some pasta, so I snatched up the locally made pasta. She said it was her first time at the Market and that she planned to be back on Saturday. I think there were about 10 Raviolis inside the package. The price seemed a little steep, but I’m told by my best friend that pinching raviolis is hard work, so maybe that’s why.
As for the Greek yogurt alfredo sauce, that was a concoction I mixed up out of desperation. I bought this Greek-style yogurt from Chapel Hill Creamery on Saturday and I wasn’t that fond of it. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, just Greek yogurt really isn’t my thing. But then I had an idea, my recipe follows.
* Heat several spoonfuls of Greek yogurt (however much you plan on eating in one setting) over low heat.
* Add ground Parmesan cheese (I had some left over from before my project, so I tossed it in, but that’s the only non-Farmers’ Market cheese I’ve had so far) and Raw Milk Hickory Grove cheese from Chapel Hill Creamery.
* Stir slowly until cheese melts. Enjoy.
