Ravioli

I’d like to go out on a limb here and say that homemade ravioli is the ultimate comfort food. Anyone agree? Here’s my argument: After a glass of wine or two, you use your fork to break open one soft, delicate pocket of dough. Out comes pouring creamy ricotta, mascarpone and freshly grated parmesan cheese. You find yourself overcome with content. More than content: extreme pleasure! In my opinion there is nothing more satisfying and comforting than 3 or more cheeses. Especially after you’ve made a complete mess of the kitchen. Flour, egg and KitchenAid attachments are everywhere and your biggest reward is taking that first bite. It’s an experience worth having. Invite a good friend over for wine, cheese and a heck of a lot of fun rolling out pasta sheets. It’s a night you won’t soon forget.
