The Sardinian name for these delicious ravioli is ‘cruxuionisi de arrescottu’ – Lidia and Anna Maria share their recipe.
For the sugo: 250g each of minced pork and beef, 1 garlic clove, a pinch of ground saffron, 500ml passata, salt
For the pasta: 250g each semola rimacinata (ground durum wheat) and 00 flour, 2 eggs and about 150ml water – enough to form a dough.
For the filling: 500g ricotta (sheep’s milk for preference), 1/2 teaspoon each mixed spice, ground saffron, mixed with 20ml of milk, 2 eggs, 25g minced cooked chard (or spinach), salt.

  1. Best food channel in the whooole internet!!!! Our Nonas are the best and the most beautifully ladies from Italy!!!!

  2. Oh, you beautiful ladies had me the minute that orange zest was added! Talk about my mouth watering!! And the sugo sounds like a perfect compliment to the ravioli. I got a big laugh when the camera panned to the dining table and there sat GianCarlo…he was not going to be denied his luscious lunch!!! TFS, Sharon🤗♥️🍝

  3. I not only enjoy watching these lovely, capable grannies make regional recipes I’d never heard of before, but I truly love to see a bit of their homes, especially their kitchens of course. It’s so much fun to see how some have adopted modern gadgets and appliances (and decor), while others still do everything the old way with just a board, a rolling pin, and an old, old oven. That oven probably works better than the one I bought 5 years ago – that’s already giving me grief.

  4. Another wonderful recipe! Another wonderful video. These sweet women make it look so easy! Of course, they had the very best sous chef, our fabulous and talented Vicky to help!! Thank you, Vicky, for sharing your time and talents. God bless you! 🙏❤😘🕊🇺🇸

  6. This might be the best ravioli recipe I have ever seen. It just got everything to my liking. The ricotta I tried in Sardinia was really wonderful. Such good ricotta sadly is not available here. Combined with all these spices and orange zest it must taste heavenly. Thank you, you lovely ladies.
