Though I don't often follow a recipe, I have decided that if I ever want to TRULY develop recipes, I should better learn the difference between one that is very well written and easy to follow, a recipe that is confusing and requires an intuitive cook and one that is poorly written.

Thus, my new subject category - "Made from Recipe" will deliver my results when follow every direction given in a recipe, without changing a thing.

My first recipe is the Butternut Squash, Sage, and Goat Cheese Ravioli with Hazelnut Brown-Butter Sauce I found on epicurious.com.

This recipe is written precisely the way I wish to write my own recipes. Every step is clear and easy to following. It breaks down the timing for you as well, from preparing the squash, to getting the Hazelnut Brown-Butter Sauce ready.
