Chef Tips:
I love ravioli with ricotta and saffron my grandmother use to make it almost every Sunday but instead of the orange zest she used a grated lemon rind. You can add spinach or bietola (Swiss chard). Just never use a strong sauce has a condiment or it will overwhelm the flavor of the Ravioli. With this kind of ravioli I usually use Panna (Italian for Cream) with Porcini Mushroom, or a simple fresh tomatoes Sauce.
Chefs Corner:
Ravioli [raˈvjɔːli] (plural form; singular: raviolo) are a type of dumpling composed of a filling sealed between two layers of thin pasta dough. Usually served either in broth or with a pasta sauce, they originated as a traditional food in Italian cuisine. Ravioli are typically square, though other forms are also used, including circular or semi-circular (mezzelune). Other related filled pastas include the ring-shaped tortellini and the larger tortelloni.
The earliest known mention of ravioli appears in the personal letters of Francesco di Marco Datini, a merchant of Prato in the 14th century. In Venice, the mid-14th-century manuscript Libro per cuoco offers ravioli of green herbs blanched and minced, mixed with beaten egg and fresh cheese, simmered in broth and seasoned with "sweet and strong spices". In Rome, ravioli were already well-known when Bartolomeo Scappi served them with boiled chicken to the papal conclave of 1549.
Ravioli were already known in 14th century England, appearing in the Anglo-Norman vellum manuscript Forme of Cury under the name of rauioles.Sicilian ravioli and Malta's ravjul may thus be older than North Italian ones[citation needed]. Maltese ravjul are stuffed with irkotta, the locally produced sheep's-milk ricotta, or with gbejna, the traditional fresh sheep's-milk cheese. Source
