I am looking for a good gluten-free Ravioli either cheese or meat or both. Any ideas? I am not interested in making it from scratch I love my son a lot but....... :rolleyes:

It can be frozen or not, I imagine it would have to be which is fine. Has anyone seen or tasted one from a store or a website? He tried Amy's vegetarian lasagna and didn't care for it but he does like her other things.

Thanks,

Roo

There used to be ravioli at Dietary Specialities, but I can't connect to either their US Site or their UK site, so I wonder if they went out of business.

Unfortunately, that's all I've ever seen for pre-made ravioli. I've had good luck making lasagna myself, if you didn't want to make ravioli - you could try that. An easy way to do it is to use a large pan, and lots of sauce, and use uncooked noodles, just cover the pan with foil. It makes it a little easier. You could use jarred spagetti sauce, with or without meat. Try mixing the ricotta cheese with parm, spinich, maybe other spices or veggies. Top with shredded cheese.

Or you could cook the lasagna noodles, then "fill them" - roll them up with filling and top with tomato sauce and bake in the oven for a bit.

That sounds like a good idea akua123. I used to love Ravioli and do miss it as well. :P

yeah, I really miss ravioli too. My fave Italian restaurant makes these awesomely huge raviolis, but alas they are not gluten free. One of these days I may get adventurous and attempt to make some from scratch.

Actually making your own isn't that hard. You just need a pasta recipe (OK, I don't have one but I could look one up...)

Then you can take round cookie cutters or a small glass and cut the two pieces, fill them with ricotta and parm or any other combo, and seal with egg white brushed around the edges.

I always thought making your own pasta was a major gourmet affair but it's really pretty simple - if you can make a pie crust, you can make raviolis.

I'll look for a pasta recipe.

My husband likes the Chef Boyardee lasagna mixes that have thick crusts underneath, so I wonder how it would taste to use piecrust and fill it with sauce and cheese? Probably more like Pizza Pockets than ravioli. I need to find a pasta recipe and try to make my own raviolis!

Still looking for a good pasta recipe. I got really good at making my own pasta low carb but used a TON of gluten... <_< So I need to find something else.

Has anyone seen gluten-free or rice pasta shells? The big kind? That would be a lot like ravioli without the work, even easier I think than rolling up lasagne noodles (though that's a really good one, too). Still more work than tossing some ravioli in some boiling water but so good, worth the work.

Think I'll try some experimenting tonight (husband has band practice tonight so that means I can play around in the kitchen all evening with no demands on dinner... :D )

If we could figure out how to make them, perhaps we could also make them in advance and freeze them. Has anyone tried canning anything like this? I like to make up a large kettle of my favorite beef stew and can it in pint jars for "instant" food. I am at home, I really need to get my act together and start experimenting more in my kitchen!

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.

      Hello, My mid twenties daughter is blaming my husband and I for her celiac disease.  She has not been diagnosed at all, but GOOGLE has informed her she has it.  She is going to go get tested now, but my question is, did we?  I was not the best cook while she was growing up and often made quick processed food for meals.  She is blaming us for what she ate growing up and is angry that we didn't feed her better.  I don't know how to react and all I could tell her was I was sorry.  Her older brother has Crohn's disease and he was diagnosed as a teenager.  She is also furious with us that we didn't change his diet either.  I don't know why I didn't and I am having so much guilt I don't even know how to handle this situation.  Both sides of our family have a history of IBS, Celiac and Crohn's disease.   I guess I just wanted to hear from anyone out there that can either point blame at me (I can accept it) or tell me that the food she ate growing up didn't have an affect on her.  I am thinking it most likely did. Thank you, Marie

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.
