This was my first time making ravioli from scratch, so I certainly am no expert. My overall take away was that it was more trouble than it was worth, but it was good. I am not so handy when it comes to dough, so I am not going to give up on this one and I'll try wonton wrappers next time. I wish Giada would indicate how many raviolis you should get out of this. I ended up with extra dough and the ratio of dough to filling in the rav's seemed right on. I cut the lemon zest in half because my hubby is not a huge lemon fan (though I am. It was the perfect amount of citrus. Next time I will add toasted pine nuts. I will say, the filling was awesome, and I'm not a huge ricotta cheese fan. One more tip: when placing the ravs in the boiling water, run a spoon underneath them in the pot to ensure they are not sticking to the bottom.
I served this with Michael Chiarello's roasted garlic rosemary bread - a perfect pair.

I have a cooking blog and this week's mission was making homemade pasta. I chose a wonderful pasta dough recipe of Giada's and was trying to find some great recipes to use it in. I came across this ravioli recipe and was blown away by how tasty it was.

I used a different dough recipe than what is listed here, and I paired the ravioli with my favorite jarred pasta sauce instead of making the sauce in this recipe, but the filling was truly the star of the dish. It was absolutely amazing and will be added to my list of "Dishes to make again ASAP"!

Check out my blog (Can Cook Will Travel to see the recipe in action and tons of photos of the cooking process.

I have never made a ravioli in my life, I have made pasta but not a ravioli. I loved these! They were really easy to make and delicious! Not to mention it impressed my husband, because I made them and didn't buy them!

I did not make the sauce, I actually made an alfredo sauce to go with them. Also if you do not have a ravioli cutter you can you a little sauce bowl, like the ones you get at a restaurant for your condiments. It worked perfectly!

As a first time ravioli maker, it took me quite a while to fix this recipe. Rolling out the dough was particularly time consuming. The end result was good - I felt like the sauce needed a little more flavor so I'd probably do a marinara next time. Overall I don't think this was any better than store bought ravioli and it took 3 times as long to make. I will most likely buy pre-made ravioli in the future!

I saw this a while back on TV and since I LOVE ravioli, I am happy to report that I remembered the basic ravioli dough recipe and took some ideas for the filling and sauce from this one. I made a simplified vegetarian version of this ravioli from memory for dinner tonight using ricotta, parmesan, basil and spinach for the filling, and topped it with a basil butter sauce - absolute HEAVEN on a plate. My 3 sons who normally wouldn't touch ravioli, devoured the entire batch, and wanted more! My 2 younger sons also had fun helping me cook, I had my 6yo mixing the filling and helping to put it on the dough, and the 11yo cut the ravioli out and put them on a tray so we could cook them : I am so happy because now I can make ravioli that everyone loves, which is something I couldn't cook before tonight ; And now I can use the ravioli dough recipe to make all kinds of ravioli : Thank you so much Giada for making fantastic food so easy.

I don't think I rolled the dough out thin enough, I was afraid of the filling seeping out. Also, the sauce was not good! Too much olive oil...... I think if I make it again, definitely a tomato sauce! It was very easy to do though.
