Fresh Pasta and Ricotta Ravioli Italian Recipe

Ravioli are a typical product of Italian cuisine. The simple and authentic taste makes them pleasant to everyone’s palate, even the most “sensitive” of children. Depending on the various recipes, the dumplings can be squared or rounds of egg pasta folded to contain stuffing made from meat, fish, vegetables, or cheese. Furthermore, the ricotta and spinach ravioli lend themselves to meet all kinds of toppings, from the classic butter and sage to the faster cream and salmon… They, therefore, present themselves as a real joker, to be able to show off on many occasions. Moreover, they come in many vegetarian choices of ingredients, which are also perfect for friends who do not like meat.
