prep time:: 1 hr
total time:: 1 hr

This is an authentic Pilla Family tradition. This recipe came from Italy. My mom’s mother, “Mum”, used to make these with a antique ravioli rolling pin which I still have. I can’t get the hang of the rolling pin and make them by hand.

ingredients

Dough:
4 cups flour
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup luke warm water
Form to Dough, Roll thin. Cut with Round cutter.
Filling:
1 large container of Ricotta cheese
3 eggs
Fresh chopped parsley
1 cup or more grated Romano Cheese
