These were amazing! i only made the raviolis and not the sauce. It was my first time making ravioli and the directions were so helpful. i did leave the cheese out of the filling, but it was still great. i doubled the recipe and froze a bunch. They're better fresh, but are still tasty after being frozen. i will definitely be making this again!! Thanks oodles, Pamela!

A litle work but it was so good even kids ate it. Husband loves home made pasta so perfect for him. Will make it again.

I'm not going to star rate this because I didn't make the sauce or the dough, just the filling. I used a vegan mozzarella cheese substitute rather than the cheddar, but made it the same otherwise, and it was delish! Think next time I'll add a touch of basil. Thanks Pamela!

This recipe is right on! The sauce is perfect and could easily be doubled for a large crowd. I used my own filling using ricotta cheese, and a parmesean/romano/asiago mix you get in the refrigerated isle. Along with a little bit of bread crumb, salt, pepper, and the egg. They turned out to be the most perfect cheese raviolis! Making the raviolis took more time than I would have liked, but it was my first time, so next time shouldn't take as long since I know what it takes to get the dough rolled out and cut. Love this! Will make it again for sure!
