Ravioli filled with ricotta and lemon from Amalfi

This elegant dish captures the essence of the Amalfi Coast, where the sun-drenched lemons are known for their vibrant aroma and sweet tang. Delicate, handmade ravioli are filled with creamy ricotta, a touch of Parmesan, and the zest of Amalfi lemons, creating a filling that is both rich and refreshingly light. The balance of flavors—mild, milky ricotta with the bright citrus notes—makes each bite a delightful contrast.

Served with a simple butter and sage sauce or a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, this dish allows the ingredients to shine. It’s the perfect meal for a warm spring evening or a summer lunch by the sea, paired with a crisp white wine. Each forkful transports you to Italy’s picturesque coastline, where simplicity and quality define the cuisine.
