Quick Homemade Ravioli image

From chef Pam Anderson's "How to Cook Without a Book", this makes really tasty, easy ravioli that I think are impressive. I saw a similar technique used in a recipe by Dancer (Vegetable Ravioi #5017) that I will be trying as well. The sky's the limit on the fillings and the technique makes light , impressive ravioli that taste special.
