Wifes Birthday Dinner Request.

My wife requested I make something I really don't make or like for her birthday dinner. As usual i'm going to make most everything from scratch. Any guesses as to what i'm making?

Homemade Spaghetti with toasted ravioli and garlic breadsticks. 
 
For ravioli filling was thinking 4 cheese, mushrooms, spinach, garlic and ground pork. Run through the food processor so it's almost a paste. 
 
Sauce is peeled tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, pepper, garlic, onion, smoked el scorponero, water, brown sugar, red wine, basil, oregano, 2 bay leaves, kosher salt ect.

Starting to brown some meat, onions, mushrooms and garlic for the sauce. Might add black olives and make it more like a bolognese.

Spaghetti dough on left, ravioli on right. Not sure about that ravioli recipe. Just flour eggs and oil. Seems a bit too crumbly. Hopefully works well after rest. 
 
Getting ready to make the raviolis now.

not a big fan of nutmeg. Thought hadn't even occurred to me. Pork mixture pretty tasty though.

If you kneaded the dough and it's still crumbly you can add a bit of water as I'm sure you know. It will work together more when you start rolling.

All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi. :)

yea I moistened my hands a bit while I kneaded it. Helped.
