The history of ravioli - a journey through centuries of Italian cuisine

Ravioli are one of the most famous dishes in Italian cuisine, but where do these small filled pasta pockets actually come from? Their history is as complex as their filling. The first written evidence of ravioli appears in the 14th century. A merchant from Prato, Francesco di Marco Datini, mentioned them in his letters, and early recipes can also be found in Venetian cookbooks of the time. At the time, they were considered a festive dish for wealthy households, a far cry from the everyday dish they would later become. Scholars still argue about the origin of the name today. One theory derives it from the Latin "rapa", meaning turnip, a common filling ingredient in the past. Others see the root in the Italian "riavvolgere", to wrap or roll up. Both explanations fit the essence of this pasta: something good, carefully wrapped.

It is also interesting to note that filled dumplings are not a purely Italian invention. Similar dishes exist in Chinese cuisine as jiaozi, in Russian as pelmeni and in German as Maultaschen. Whether these are parallel developments or culinary exchanges along the old trade routes remains an open question. In Italy itself, countless regional variations have developed over the centuries. In Liguria, ravioli are traditionally filled with herbs and ricotta, in Emilia-Romagna meat fillings are the main ingredient, in Sardinia sheep's cheese and saffron are used. Each region, indeed almost every family, kept its own recipe like a family secret. With the great wave of emigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries, ravioli traveled around the world. Italian immigrants brought their recipes to America, Australia and South America, where the dumplings quickly became part of the local cuisine and new variations were created. Today, ravioli have long been a global cultural asset. Ready-made products fill supermarket shelves around the world, but the true soul of this pasta still lies in its handmade nature. The smell of fresh pasta dough, the carefully distributed filling, the even pressure of the stamp: this is the story of ravioli, which is rewritten in every kitchen.

Here's how it works: First choose your dough, whether homemade egg pasta dough or a store-bought version, the stamp works with different types of dough and delivers a perfect result every time. Roll out the dough thinly and press in gentle circles with the stamp. Spread the filling over the marked areas, place a second layer of dough on top and cut out the ravioli cleanly with a targeted press and seal them at the same time.
