The standard way of cooking pasta was in stock, or in water with salt, butter or oil; served with grated cheese, and sometimes spices as well… Alternatively, pasta could be cooked with sugar and almond milk, or with goat's milk. Fresh pasta was used to make ravioli and tortelli, which were filled with a thick puree of meat, chicken, or vegetables, often combined with fresh cheese and bound with egg. Like other forms of pasta, these were usually cooked in stock and accompanied by grated cheese.” The Original Mediterranean Cuisine.


I made a cream & blue cheese sauce to dress spinach and bleu cheese stuffed ravioli. Z said it was his favorite ravioli ever and I couldn't make any other kind ever again! I was pleased because only one exploded.
