Editors Review
Let's face it, it’s some work to make homemade ravioli. Many people have never even thought of making their own but it's so rewarding and fun to do. This ravioli recipe has “special” written all over it and is a great way to convert holiday leftovers into gourmet meals for family and friends. The sweetness of the squash filling with the amaretti cookies, parmesan, and nutmeg is perfectly set off by the salty earthiness of the sage butter sauce. That with a little sprinkling of parmesan is all you need forChef
