Serving Suggestion:
This is tasty as it is, or you can add some extra flavour or crunch with fresh basil, parmesan, pinenuts or other nuts, pumpkin seeds or other seeds, chilli flakes and/ or pepper.
Comment:
Tip: Ravioli freezes well! Pop into boiling water straight from frozen and add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.
Healthy tip!
Chilli, lemon and herbs add flavour - great alternatives to butter and salt!
