Ravioli is one of those pastas everyone loves.Unlike others pastas it's versatile in flavors and shapes. Not only that but i talways tastes good. You can serve it a variety of ways and it'll still be the star of the week.
Most people make the little stuffed squares the traditional way. Plain or beef filled are good with a hearty marinara or traditional Neapolitan sauce consisting of both beef and pork . However ravioli with a lighter stuffing, of say, spinach can go with a fresh made tomato sauce with just picked tomatoes and olive oil. For pumpkin or squash filled ones think a light butter and sage sauce .This brings out the taste and sweetness of the filling. Seafood filled raviolis such as those stuffed with lobster or crab are excellent with a creamy vodka or fiery arrabiata sauce.
Raviolis are also good in soup. There;s nothing as filling or satisfying as a broth filled with cheese or meat stuffed baby ravioli. It makes for a nice dinner on a cold winter;s night,. Another way is fried ravioli. This has been a restaurant trend for the past several years. Just fry them up as you would dumplings and then serve with a variety of sauces. Most eateries serve them with marinara and even ranch dressing but you can also add an Asian spin by with soy and ginger sauces.
Raviolis are so versatile and fun you can have them in so many different ways. They're good the traditional way with a hearty sauce but you can also opt for them fried or in soup. Enjoy them any way. They're always delicious!
