March 20 Ravioli Day

March 20 Ravioli Day is celebrating every year. As one of the food holidays, it is very popular with all pasta lovers. Ravioli are a traditional type of Italian filled pasta, made up of a filling sealed between two layers of thin egg pasta dough. The ravioli are usually served in either a broth or with a pasta sauce. A variety of filling recipes are available from cheesy to meaty.

Many popular recipes bake or deep fry the raviolis. With chocolate added to the pasta or cream cheese stuffing and a caramel sauce, the dish quickly becomes a dessert.

Served often as the main course, ravioli can also be a side dish, or even an appetizer. You can find hundreds of different fillings for ravioli. Ravioli can be homemade or may be purchased fresh or frozen in grocery stores.
