Ravioli

Ravioli is an interesting type of pasta. It is made by laying out one wide strip of pasta. Small amounts of meat, mushrooms, or any other filling are placed at varying intervals. You can find ravioli stuffed with cheese, lobster, a cheese and tomato mixture, a spinach and cheese mix, meat, or fish. Then the second strip of pasta is placed over the top. The strip is cut into squares with a specially designed serrated wheel knife (similar to a pizza wheel). Sometimes, a serrated cutter that is similar to a cookie cutter is used.

Cooking ravioli in a butter sauce with herbs can help you taste the filling more fully. Or you might use a fresh tomato sauce, which is useful at any time. They can be filled with nearly any substance. But normally, they are mixed or pureed first. A particularly popular filler is mushrooms.

You can serve ravioli with sauce. either cream or tomato. Alternatively, you could serve them with some fresh herbs and some olive oil. You may purchase ravioli in a tin. So long as you need to create anything quickly, that's good. However, fresh ravioli is typically sold. Due to the contents, drying ravioli is quite challenging.
