I like to express myself through cooking, although unfortunately I can’t claim the ability to create recipes. I find good ones and use them. Taking cooking classes extended my repertoire. The favorite recipe to come from the classes is homemade ravioli with walnut sauce. The sauce comes from an Italian grandmother (not mine) and gilds the lily or, in this case, the ravioli. This the dish demanded for all major holidays and not difficult to make, although it’s a bit time-consuming. But there’s something satisfying in making it and in eating it!
This week I have very, very limited internet, but I’ll do my best to visit as many of your posts as possible.
Looks very tempting!
It’s delicious! Every year I say I’ll make the ravioli in advance and freeze them and every year I end up making them a day or two in advance. 🙂

The walnut sauce is always a winner, thanks again for a super recipe! I will make it tomorrow I bought ravioli today with truffles, bet it fits well together :o)
Thanks for letting me know! I’d love to have ravioli with truffles.! Enjoy.
janet
yum yum
Definitely! You’ll have to give it a try. The sauce would be good on other pasta, too.

Walnut sauce is a staple of Georgian Cuisine….usually with Chicken or Turkey…but I’m sure we could use it with ravioli…
Hmmm, hadn’t thought past pasta. Good ideas.

Delicious. I just finished my risotto, but I love to taste the ravioli.
I love risotto, too, Jaap! Yum!
I’ve never had walnut sauce before, Looks Yummers! 🙂
It’s amazing and very simple to make.
janet
Well, I do like pasta 🙂 🙂
Oh my Janet – I want to dive into this dish……:) yum.
Better to just eat and not dive in. Gets a bit messy otherwise. 😉
Best way of expressing yourself. Food. I just love food.
I do, too.
janet
Looks very tasty!
It is and the sauce is simple to make.
janet
Looks (and I am sure also tastes) really delicious, Janet!
It is, Ese, and fast and simple as well (the sauce, that is.)
Janet this looks fabulous! My intent is also very bad!
😀 It’s definitely delicious.
I wish we lived closer because I’d trade you some gardening work for some expressing yourself in my kitchen. 🙂
It would be fun!

Thanks, Dawn. It is!
janet
Looks so yummy. Great photo. 😀
Thanks. 😊
janet
Looks lovely!
Tastes even better. 😊
janet
That looks wonderful!
Thanks! Give it a try,
janet
Sweet
Mmmmm looks absolutely fabulous Janet! I love to cook too!!
Give that sauce a try, Nicole. It’s delish.
janet
Looks very delicious, and not too kind to my waistline. But we only live once! Good interpretation of the theme.
That sauce recipe is plenty for 60 or so ravioli, so not that bad, and nuts are healthy. A few times a year won’t hurt. 😊

Love, love the colors, along with the shape of the bowl and pasta. Gorgeous shot. Does the dish have a story? ~Theadora (Happy New Year!)
Nice to see you, Theadora. I don’t have much internet right now so i haven’t gotten to your latest post. 😢.
No special story on the bowl except that I found it on sale and loved it. It’s just the right size for the ravioli and so colorful.
janet
That’s great and perfect for theme and now I’m hungry….
😀
:-). Stop by at Easter.
janet
ravioli look so good – and the blue in the plate is so pretty
Both are pretty good. 🙂
janet
wish I could try a bite (of the rav – not the plate)
Looks delicious Janet, and definitely a means of self-expression. I must admit I get really bored making the same old thing so often, but then again, I must also admit I am not one to take the time and make the effort to learn new dishes. What I REALLY need is a live-in chef 🙂 That will be my first purchase after my private plane when I win the lottery !!!
I’d love to win the lottery but as I never buy a ticket, the odds aren’t good. 😊
Looks yummy!
It definitely is, Jennifer!
