SPINACH & CHEESE RAVIOLI IN A LEMON SAUCE
There are many types of pasta in Italy and among the more popular is ravioli. The name ravioli is thought to come from the Italian verb riavvolgere- which means to wrap. One can trace the ravioli back to 14th century Italy, believing to originate in regions like Tuscan, Lombardy and Liguria.
At first ravioli were commonly added to soup, only later being added to a tomato sauce in the 1500’s. Throughout Italy different regions are known for their different fillings. Rome traditionally fills their ravioli with ricotta, spinach, nutmeg and black pepper while Sardinia often fills their ravioli with ricotta and lemon rind. Northern Italy is known for including meat and even pumpkin or amaretti biscuits for special occasions.
