Homemade Paleo Ravioli and Tomato Sauce

Ever since I joyfully stumbled upon Paleo Cupboard‘s recipe for Paleo-Pasta, I have been itching to make Paleo Ravioli happen. And yesterday it finally did. And my goodness, did it hit the spot. It was pretty filling, so I got to save half of it for today’s lunch. I am pretty excited to get some more of that deliciousness in my belly. I know my daughter will be too, because she scarfed her’s down like no tomorrow.
