    FAQs

    How many homemade ravioli per person? ›

    If you want to make your guests happy, you should use at least 200 grams of ravioli (about 10 pieces) for each of them. I often go up to 250 grams each, or even more. This means using at least 12 ravioli per person. So, if you're making ravioli for a group of 4 people, buy enough ingredients to make 1 kg of them.

    I simply spread some of the ravioli filling on the pizza dough and topped it with sliced shiitake mushrooms and mozzarella cheese.

    You can eat ravioli right out of the can, at room temperature. It's already been cooked at temperatures much higher than anything your car will get to (even if you left it all day in Death Valley). That makes it sterile and it will last for decades. Just make sure you pack a can opener.
