If you're ever looking for a way for your kids to help out with the cooking, they could be the ones to press the sides of the ravioli together with a fork. Speaking from experience as a child in an Italian family, it was a holiday tradition to make ravioli together. Mom would make the dough, dad would handle the filling, and my sister and I were on fork duty. We thought it was fun, until we were old enough to know better. Not sure if that would fly with a couple of rambunctious boys, but in our mostly female household it was a nice bonding experience.
Also, I laughed every time you wrote "raviolis." Do you eat spaghettis and meatballs too? Is this what happens when an Italian spends too much of his youth in California?
Yes! I think you posted this at your old gig. 100% agreed about not needing a heavy sauce. I like to taste the ingredients and not just the sauce. But I'm that way about BBQ as well.
Well damn I had some yesterday!
I’m the dad and I couldn’t be prouder.
You can’t go wrong with the super detailed recipe instructions.
I have been making ravioli myself for at least 50 years, but I even saved a copy of this recipe for the hell of it
