Today I made ravioli for lunch. Well, I had some pre-made so only had to boil it for 8 minutes to make it yummy.

I remembered the first time I ever ate ravioli. I was 14 years old. My parents had taken me to Italy – to Rome. One of the first meals we had was ravioli and I immediately loved it! This was in 1958 and, coming from a colony in Africa, Italian cuisine was virtually unknown. After that meal, I ordered ravioli whenever we dined out. I don’t remember ever having a plate of this amazing pasta dish that disappointed me.
