The buckwheat flour ravioli with walnuts

The Christmas period is one of the large family gatherings with “dinners” almost endless, larded with traditional dishes. Here in Lazio (the Italian region where it is Rome) ravioli have always said a flat “lean”, that are usually stuffed with vegetables and cheese, no meat, to be prepared the Christmas Eve. In my review of the traditional cuisine, they are prepared with buckwheat flour and walnuts. Click for a translation into Italian: Click me 🙂
