From Lake Como. Ravioli with Walnut Sauce
          

Charming host/owner Giuseppe of Ristorante Fioroni in Carate Urio, Italy shares his family recipe for this rich and creamy pasta dish (with Chef Rosa).


      Ingredients

1 cup panna (Italian cream), or creme fraiche or sour cream

10 ounces mascarpone cheese

1 1/2 cup walnuts

2 eggs

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/3 cup olive oil

1 slice white bread softened in a little water

Ravioli (meat, cheese or whatever suits your fancy)

Walnuts and sage leaves for garnish


      The Recipe

In a food processor or blender, process all ingredients except for the ravioli and garnish.  Cook ravioli in salted water, drain, add sauce and warm up (do not bring to a boil).  Garnish with whole walnuts and sage leaves.  NOTE:  This recipe makes a large batch - good for about 4 pounds of pasta - and it is easily halved.  You don't need a lot because it is very rich.  Stores in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
