Love family traditions like these. My Grandma, my Mom and I make hundreds of cookies each year, something the two of them have been doing since before I was born. I hope to someday have my daughter participating in the same traditions. And yes, it’s not just about what the finished products at the end of the day, but the quality time that’s spent just being together. Althoughh I’d take Ravioli over cookies any day. :)
Every year my grandma makes Christmas stöllen and I have begun to take it over. Last year was my first Christmas away from my family, but my grandma didn’t want me to be without stöllen so we had a Skype and stöllen party. Keepin’ the tradition alive!
This looks like so much fun !!!! Was excited to crash this family tradition and then so bummed when I got sick and couldn’t go. Looking forward to seeing you next week !!!

I love this post soooooo much… Like REALLY love it. You sure pumped out some rav huh? And your apron is beyond cute.
I have some wonderful Euro friends who often have these big cooking/creating days. The last one I went to was a wine making day, we actually got to stomp on the grapes, then when we were done with wine, we moved inside and made the worlds largest pot of Nap sauce. It was wonderful. I loved feeling a part of a little community. :)
Wishing you a super weekend lovely one. Cheers from a sun shiny and finally warm Australia. Cheers, Anna
I really enjoyed this post. These traditions and family are what holidays are really all about — not all the stressful shopping, etc. The ravioli day looks like so much fun!
That looks like the best day! Time in the kitchen with family creating wonderful memories like this are my favorite! What a wonderful tradition and oh my goodness – 700 ravioli! I can just imagine how delicious they are!
Hi, this recipe looks great! We are just wondering how to cook it after the preparation is done? You’re directions just finish with “Cook immediately or freeze and save for Christmas dinner” Do you boil the ravioli first before putting in the oven? What temp/time do you put in the oven for? Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!
Hi! This recipe is more about making the filled ravioli vs. the cooking method (odd, I know—it’s not one of my usual recipe posts), but here is what I found online to cook the ravioli: 1) Fill a large pot with 2/3 water and bring to a boil. 2) When the water is boiling, add a heavy teaspoon of salt and add the frozen ravioli. 3) Stir immediately so none of the ravioli stick to the bottom of the pot. 4) Cook uncovered 4-6 minutes. I hope that helps!
Hi Jason! I’m so sorry, but I’m not able to share. If I ever get the family clearance, I’ll certainly add it here. I hope you enjoy the recipe if you try it!
Hi Valerie! It’s been quite a while since we’ve made these, but as I recall they only need 1 to 2 minutes in a pot of boiling, salted water. The surest way to know when they’re ready is to stick by the pot and watch for them to float. I hope this helps!
There are key steps missing here…..what setting is the pasta machine on? How many times do you run the dough through the machine? Where do you buy pasta forms at?
Hi Robyn! This is a bit of an older post meant to record a family recipe vs. a detailed tutorial about pasta making. I’d suggest checking some more detatiled pasta tutorials online; then you can certainly use this recipe if you like.

How about I give you half of our ravioli for half of your cookies Nicole? That sounds like a wonderful tradition you have. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a warm, lovely post! I can’t get enough of it! You are the sweetest :)
PS I love my in-laws, too! Isn’t it such a blessing? Not many people feel the way we do about in-laws.
SUCH a blessing. The pasta is just a bonus!
What a fun ravioli day. My family makes homemade sausage around New Years time. I could definitely get in the swings of a ravioli day.
Homemade sausage???? I’m officially inviting myself to your New Year’s ;-)
Ravioli day sounds like the best day ever! Can I come be an honorary member of Ben’s family next year?
EVERYONE is welcome at ravioli day Kelli! We’d love to have you

how many ravioli does this recipe make. thanks for sharing
Hi Anne! For the amount of filling called for in this recipe, it actually makes 400 ravioli (about 100 ravioli per pound of meat). I hope this helps!
OMG , can I get the secret family recipe for the sauce please and thanks. Amazing!
