Ricotta Girella with Raw Tomato Sauce

This spiral raviolo called girella is filled with a blend of ricotta, mascarpone, and parmesan, elegantly shaped and served with a vibrant raw tomato sauce. The creamy, savory filling pairs beautifully with the fresh, slightly sour sauce, made from ripe tomatoes, basil, a hint of garlic and a touch of olive oil.
