Have you ever made fresh ravioli? I have and it's a blast to make and so delicious 
I've never made them but I love those little dumplings with cheese filled between 2 layers of dough.
Exactly. I kind of wonder where ravioli got started, do you know?
The first mention of ravioli appears in letters of Francesco di Marco Datini who was a merchant of Prato in the 14th century.
Oh wow. That's a long time. What did he say about raviolis? 
Libro per cuoco offers ravioli of green herbs blanched and minced simmered in broth seasoned with spices.
That sounds delicious too. All this talk about ravioli is making me hungry. 
Me too. In Rome in 1549, Bartolomeo Scappi served them with boiled chicken to the papal conclave. That one doesn't sound as yummy.
