Cheese ravioli
Description
Cheese ravioli is a wonderful dish that's perfect for those who love hearty meals, vegetarians, and children alike. By the way, making ravioli can be a family activity. That's exactly how we do it at home. We fill up several trays with ravioli, freeze them, and then take them out during those critical moments when we're too lazy or short on time. Ricotta is a soft, creamy cheese, quite moist. If you can't find it in the store, just buy cottage cheese and process it through a meat grinder or blender.
