For this recipe, try to source the best quality Italian sausages you can, as this will make a huge difference to the final dish. They come in a variety of sizes and flavours so choose one you like, whether it’s traditional, with fennel, or with dried chillies, as any will work in this recipe. The meatiness of the crisp-fried sausage meat is tempered by the creamy ricotta and fresh herbs, resulting in a delicious ravioli, perfect for a celebration meal, or a comforting Friday night dinner at home. This is a great recipe to make and freeze half for a later date, simply freeze the uncooked ravioli in a single layer before transferring to a container for up to 3 months, then cook from frozen, adding 2-3 mins to the final cooking time. If you want to, you can form the ravioli by hand in the traditional manner, however a ravioli tray speeds things up and helps you make picture-perfect pasta every time.
