Squash Ravioli in sage butter with asparagus. The pasta is thin and homemade and stuffed

Pumpkin Ravioli in Sage Butter
Caminetto D'Oro
Via de'Falegnami, 4, Bologna
Italy
This reviewers first meal in Italy, and so memorable. Light, perfectly cooked and fresh
ravioli, saut˙ed in a sage butter. So few ingredients, but such a magnificent result. The
tortellini in brodo that followed also
met my expectations of perfection. A lovely lunch spot and perfect way to begin an
Italian culinary adventure.
