If its Friday it must be Chinese!!

The remaining pasta dough from the previous ravioli adventure and some great bok choy and fresh looking oyster mushrooms were good enough to think 'Chinese'!!
No expert at cooking it, but had a general idea on what I wanted to make. Quickly thawed out the dough from the refrigerator. While that happened, added the ubiquitous ginger-garlic to hot oil. I'd bought some poblano chillies from the US a while ago and decided it was a good idea to experiment. I dunked one gigantic chilly in hot water for 10mts, drained, de-seeded and cut it into ribbons to add to the bok choy and oyster mushrooms. Mixed in a bit of soy sauce and was good to go with my topping.
Cut out tagliatelle-shaped noodles, cooked these in hot water and ladled them onto serving plates directly. Topped these with the veggie mix and toasted pecans and pine nuts.

Verdict - quite good. could have made do with a little oil for the noodles coz they dried out pretty quick when left on the plate.
