Homemade Ravioli reminds me of sitting around my Grandparent’s dining room table every holiday, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. My Grandmother made it look effortless as she kneaded the dough, rolled it out on the kitchen table, and assembled the Ravioli in a neat row. I always used my Grandmother’s hand-crank pasta machine to roll the dough into flat sheets, but I have to admit I recently broke down and purchased the pasta accessory for my Kitchen Aid. It makes it so much easier and speedier! This is my Grandmother’s recipe for classic cheese and spinach filling. Be creative, and make the filling with anything you enjoy. When I make Ravioli, I double the recipe, so I have extra Ravioli, which I freeze for a rainy day. Serve these incredible pillows of heaven with a bottle of Le Senate Barbula, a blend of Cabernet and Merlot from the Le Marche region.
