Delicious stuffed pasta parcels served with a savory sauce and garnished with grated cheese.
Ravioli is a classic Italian pasta dish that consists of small squares or circles of pasta dough filled with a savory filling. The pasta is typically made from a mixture of flour, eggs, and salt, rolled out thinly, and then filled with a delicious stuffing, such as cheese, meat, or vegetables. The filled pasta parcels are then cooked in boiling water until they are tender and cooked through. Ravioli is traditionally served with a flavorful sauce, such as tomato sauce or a butter and sage sauce, and garnished with grated cheese. It is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as part of a larger Italian meal.
