Ricotta & Lemon Ravioli served with Bertolli with Butter and Mint sauce
This dish comes from the village of Minori where wonderful fresh ricotta is made and beautiful large lemons grow. Pasta and lemon is not an unusual combination in this part of the world, in fact it is quite a common dish in Italy! The creaminess of Bertolli with Butter is perfectly contrasted by the fresh mint and lemon, creating a delicious sauce for the ravioli. The sauce is also wonderfully suited for spaghetti as an alternative to ravioli.
