It happens ONCE a year....


I speak for all in my family when I say that Papa's homemade ravioli is our favorite Christmas tradition. This is not just ravioli. It is the ravioli. The ravioli that is coveted by all who enjoy any sort of pasta. The ravioli that melts in your mouth. The ravioli that takes Papa hours upon hours to make and is made with love. The ravioli that the family fights for. The ravioli that could not be replaced by any other Christmas meal. The ravioli that everyone ditches their in-laws for to have a seat at the house with the to-die-for meal. I have enjoyed this tradition for as long as I can remember and hope to enjoy it for many more years to come!!

How much fun is that!? So nice to have good cooks in the family, huh? And even better to make it an annual tradition. Very nice...

I agree! The ravioli is the best in the world! It doesn't seem possible, but it seems to get better every year! I already can't wait until next year! So fun seeing the pics of the boys when they were just little guys!
