We begin with a confession: this article was written after a culinary encounter with a sensational portion of Ravioli with Spinach, Ricotta and cream sauce with Parmesan and sage, a dish from the hands and kitchen of our chef, appreciated by us and by the customers who came to our restaurant.
Over a glass of white wine originating from the same country as the pasta, at Bella Italia, we decided to tell you about the fantastic journey of this pasta all the way to the Black Sea, at Hypnose Resort by the Sea in Vadu. The wine we recommend for this culinary assortment is any dry white wine to temper the rich flavor of the cream sauce with ricotta and parmesan.
The journey we suggest to a serving of ravioli in front of you begins in the small village markets of medieval Italy where colorful vegetables and fresh meats are lined up, and chefs of the time began to pack different fillings into the dough to create new flavors and textures. The earliest written records of ravioli appear in the 14th century, when it frequently appeared on the festive tables of Italy's noble families.
We find them in America 4 centuries later thanks to Italian immigrants who brought with them traditional recipes and recreated them in the New World. Also thanks to immigrants, ravioli made their way to Asia, where they took on new shapes and flavors when they became acquainted with local Asian cuisine. The Asian versions are often steamed or fried, stuffed with spices and spices, and fried.
In short: all continents have their own version!
One thing's for sure: the charm of ravioli is in the varied fillings. In addition to the classic meat varieties, vegetarian versions are also very popular. Basically imagination is the limit!
At Hypnose Resort by the Sea, as with most dishes on the menu or bread baked in our ovens, when we make ravioli we always go for the "homemade" version: freshly kneaded dough, carefully chosen ingredients and filling made with love as if for our loved ones.
But what really excited us was to see that there is also a World RAVIOLI Day. It's celebrated on October 20 and it's the perfect occasion to celebrate this versatile and delicious pasta dish.
On October 20, people all over the world come together to make and eat the most varied varieties of ravioli.
Until this year's anniversary of RAVIOLI’s Day, we are waiting for you every day in the Restaurant Hypnose Resort by the Sea to delight your taste and your mood with our assortment of ravioli of which we are very proud. Or any other dish from the menu.
Buon apetito a casa nostra !!!
