Introduction to Ravioli

Widely recognized as one of the most iconic types of pasta, ravioli holds a special place in the hearts of pasta enthusiasts in both Italy and the United States. This northern Italian tradition has inspired countless regional variations and recipes, making it a globally cherished dish.

 

 

The Art of Making Ravioli

Traditional ravioli are typically made with two thin sheets of pasta dough, brushed with an egg wash and layered atop one another, creating delightful pockets for a variety of fillings. These pasta dumplings can be square or circular and are known for their diverse stuffing options. Common fillings include ricotta cheese and meat, but innovative cooks have embraced an assortment of other ingredients, ranging from seafood to an array of vegetables such as spinach, pumpkin, and butternut squash.

Cooking and Serving Ravioli

Ravioli cooks efficiently in just three to four minutes, and a helpful tip to determine doneness is watching for the pieces to float to the surface of the boiling water. To ensure your ravioli retains its integrity, maintain the water at a gentle simmer; excessive boiling may cause the pasta to burst, ruining these treasured pockets. Enjoyed during special occasions such as Christmas or by Italian Catholics during Lent, ravioli continues to be a symbol of love and celebration around the world.
