If you are a Pasta Lover, than today's holiday is for YOU!
According to nationaldaycalendar.com, "Ravioli are a traditional Italian-filled pasta. Pasta makers fill two layers of thin egg pasta dough with various ingredients. Imagine a small meatball tucked, snug inside two cozy layers of delicious dough. That's what ravioli is. Some of the fillings include, cheese, meat, vegetables and seasonings. They also usually serve the ravioli in either a broth or with a pasta sauce.
While ravioli often serves as the main course, it can also be a side dish or appetizer. Many popular recipes bake or deep fry the ravioli. Ravioli can be homemade or purchased fresh or frozen in grocery stores. In the United States, Chef Boyardee popularized canned ravioli. This ravioli is filled with beef or processed cheese and served in a tomato, tomato-meat, or tomato-cheese sauce. Â
But what about toasted ravioli? Where does this delicious creation come from? Well, we turn to St. Louis, Missouri, for the answer. In the 1940s at Oldani's, a cook accidentally dropped a ravioli into the fryer. And what a delicious accident this ravioli became! The crisp ravioli earned a place on the menu. Or so the story goes. If so, we think it is a tasty one. "
FUN FACT: "Ravioli also quickly becomes a dessert with chocolate added to the pasta or cream cheese stuffing and a caramel sauce!"
In honor of today, here's a few ways you can pay homage:

Your Pampered Chef Cook’s Tip: Half and half can be substituted for the heavy whipping cream, if desired.
You can substitute a 24-oz (700-g) package of large cheese-filled ravioli for the small ravioli. Add ½ cup (125 mL) water to the wok with tomatoes. Increase the cook time for the ravioli to 8 minutes in step 3.
