6 Thrilling Fillings for Ravioli 'Round the World
Sometimes "all thriller, no filler" shouldn't be your mantra in life, and that's if and only if you're talking about ravioli. You can't go wrong with pasta stuffed with delicious cheese and other fillings, whether it's the traditional ricotta and meat or a carb-on-carb explosion like pierogi.
In celebration of the return of My Grandmother's Ravioli on July 29 at 8pm ET, we're going 'round the world with six versions of "ravioli," from the Italian classic to Japanese gyoza to apple dumplings for dessert. Get ready for your taste buds to jet to many flavorful destinations — all without leaving your kitchen.

If it's dough with a filling, it counts as a ravioli, right? These Indian-food staples are usually filled with potatoes, but our version adds cauliflower into the mix for a slightly healthier version that doesn't skimp on flavor.
