Bought some pasta attachments for my stand mixer in preparation for valentine's day.

Decided to make toasted ravioli. 🍽️

So. Many. Ravioli overall. We only toasted under half, what you see here. Froze the rest.

A watercolor painting of a black haired, pale, slightly feminine man sitting on a stool naked, holding a red paper cutout of a heart in front of his chest and lap daintily. He is smiling at the viewer, and he has slightly muscular dancer's legs. The discard from the red paper heart cutout is on the floor.
