National Ravioli Day

National Ravioli Day is on March 20th in the United States.

Ravioli is another traditional Italian pasta dish, and one that is traditionally made at home, although most (certainly, outside of Italy or not of Italian origin) would probably purchase it pre-made. This one is considered to be a type of dumpling.

Ravioli is a filled pasta. The filling, of which there can be many different types, is placed in the centre of a small square of pasta. Another square of the same size is paced on top and the edges crimped together. Other shapes are also used, such as circles, and one rectangular piece of pasta may be used, with the filling placed at one end and the pasta folded over.

Ravioli may be served in a broth, but is also commonly served in sauces. Heinz make a popular tinned ravioli that comes in a tomato sauce.
