Our family loves all ravioli, especially if they are XXL. My husband adores fresh pasta and prefers them with little filling. So today, I made him happy and made XXL Sardinian ravioli. They are really huge, but delicious. They’re handmade, without molds or cutters. For the sauce, I opted for a smooth one. You might also be interested in:
