Since I haven’t been able to go out and eat at my favorite Italian restaurants lately, I have had a craving for some good pasta. These homemade ravioli are infinitely better than any frozen ravioli you could buy at the store. Though it may seem daunting at first, it is not complicated at all. Use your favorite pasta dough recipe for the ravioli. I like the New York Times one. Serve with some sage brown butter and enjoy!
