Even though we are very much into the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we’re not so much into the going out for dinner and paying too much for a meal I could have made easily at home. Plus, for me so much of the fun is in the planning and preparation of a nice meal. I always look forward to coming up with a special meal to celebrate the occasion. Homemade pasta is certainly an impressive entree that is not nearly as difficult as many people think. Even filled and shaped pastas like this heart-shaped ravioli are easy and fun to make. (On that note, are there readers that would be interested in a homemade pasta tutorial?)
I have been making this particular ravioli filling for quite a while, and it is always a winner at our house. You could certainly use any combination of cheeses that appeals to you. I’m of the opinion that four cheese anything is going to be delicious :) Homemade pasta sauce is definitely the way to go here, but I haven’t found one I am completely in love with just yet. I do have a couple of prime contenders that I plan to try soon, and I will share “the one” as soon as I find it. The recipe below will yield quite a lot of ravioli (exact amount will vary just depending on the size you make them). I halved it for our family of three. Enjoy!
