A simple way of making ravioli using tomatoes. Instead of a traditional plain ravioli, why not try this colorful tomato ravioli made from fresh ingredients

I Love making ravioli for Valentine’s Day because it is a very hearty and delicious meal.

Plus the mushrooms in the sauce make it a perfect aphrodisiac.

This recipe only looks hard to make. In reality, it is very simple to make and you will need only a few ingredients.

Look at that beautiful red color! Don’t you just want to dive into your monitor and grab one of them?

I served this ravioli with a creamy and slightly spicy mushroom sauce. The mushroom is a perfect compliment to the squash stuffing in the ravioli

Another ingredient int his recipe is the pistachio. They also have aphrodisiac properties, so, this meal is a very potent meal.

I never hear complaints when guests eat the tomato ravioli. Everyone leaves the dining table with a smile on their face.

The ravioli dough takes a little kneading. If you have a pasta machine, use that instead of rolling the dough.

If you don’t have one, that is fine. Neither did I. A little elbow grease will do the trick.

What is the best tomato to use when making tomato ravioli?

For me, the campari tomato is always the go to favorite.

It doesn’t add any sourness to the dough. It does give the dough a wonderful red color

Campari tomatoes are on the sweeter side and they have less acidity than most tomatoes. This makes them perfect ingredients in heavy dishes

Adding ricotta cheese to the filling is great. Ricotta cheese, in my opinion, is the best cheese that works with this recipe. I always use the vegan version of ricotta cheese. I have a great ricotta cheese recipe that I always refer to when I make it. It is by the simple veganista and she use cashews to make her ricotta cheese.

So, overall, this recipe is for those who love homemade pasta. There is no substitute for fresh pasta.

What is your favorite meal to eat for valentine’s day?

I also have a vegan ravioli recipe stuffed with carnival squash. Its a quick and easy recipe to make for dinner.
