Personal Notes:
This is the recipe I used for Michael's wedding. It is the restaurant version that grandma used when she made raviolis for the Sunset. (thousand's of raviolis) It takes many hours but it is worth every minute. Use good Parmesan cheese not the kind you get in a can.I used fresh swiss chard. 4-5 large bunches. (cooked)
