My family, particularly my Father and I, have made ravioli's in this fashion every Christmas which was handed down to him from his Grandparents which originated approximately from the Piacenzia area in Italy. (They were Orphans.) I wanted to research this dish and see if it was made this way, and is indeed frugal and considered Northren Italian Cuisine. (It suits mine, and my father's nature as well as his side of the family.) I am the only one who truly enjoys making it within our family anymore. I haven't tried making them with meat yet as I would like to. We make them with Ricotta, Spinach, Cream Cheese, Nutmeg, and Parmesan for the Filling. Even though we call it Ravioli as well, it is technically Cappelletti. We also make them into these "little hats" after we seal them and cookie cut them. No one I know has ever seen them this way. Christmas Day we serve half of them in a chicken broth soup, and the other half with a tomato sauce. My wife and in laws have come to love them, but I am dying to try the meat next. The older I get the more of an "traditional obsession" this has become for me. Thank you for sharing this :) ~Grazie ~Ciao When I can across this fashion of ravioli, I was flabbergasted!

This might sound weird, but I spent the first few years of my teenage life in Italy, then traveled all over the world. Now I'm living in Australia, with my Chinese wife, and son we had whilst in Japan! Truly internationalized, eh? Anyway, I've been trying to rediscover the smells and tastes of my youth with some authentic <a href="http://www.italianrecipe.org/" rel="nofollow">Italian recipes</A> like these, best I've found so far! Thanks again, I'll see if I can add the feed to my google reader tonight, though my son usually does that for me! Thanks so much for this.
