Homemade Four Cheese Ravioli

Four cheese ravioli at its best

This four cheese ravioli recipe comes from my daughter. Kudos Sarah Beth who improvises, tastes, tweaks, and tests until she comes up with her own favorite dishes.

For this four cheese ravioli recipe, you can use the pasta recipe she uses, or you can make your own. To get Sarah Beth’s recipe, click here. Make the dough, but don’t use the pasta maker.

Instead, roll the dough out using a rolling pin. Then add the filling. Top with another layer of dough and cut into circles or squares.

Cook the pasta rounds according to directions.

Make the Pesto cream sauce and pour on top before serving. You can also serve it with your favorite marinara sauce – or both.
