Cheese Selection
Use high-quality Italian cheeses for the four-cheese sauce to achieve the best flavor and texture. Experiment with different cheese combinations to personalize the sauce.
Fresh Pasta
If possible, use fresh pasta for the ravioli, as it will have a better texture and flavor than dried pasta. Homemade pasta is ideal, but high-quality store-bought fresh pasta is also a good option.
Apricot Preparation
If using fresh apricots, ensure they are ripe but firm. Gently poaching them before incorporating into the filling can enhance their sweetness and texture. Dried apricots can also be used but should be rehydrated slightly.
