Well now I’m hungry (and it’s 10:30pm in Seattle!). Looks amazing, but it’s also nice to know that it can work as a sauce instead of requiring ravioli preparation. Thank you for this recipe!

Wish The girls were close to help me ❤️

Even at French time-8:30 am, I am plotting this for lunch! Thanks for sharing another lovely old cookbook.

I love this book! I bought a copy at a flea market and gave it to Sophie as a gift. But since it lives at Sophie's house I haven't gotten a real chance to go through it.

Definitely on the radar to make, thank you

This sounds so delicious, thank you for sharing! I love the Ligurian coast and dream of the fresh seafood found there. I’ve also been having a moment with vintage cookbooks and appreciate the simplicity of the recipes.

Well, a third Washingtonian (Olympia) is enchanted by this recipe, which seems perfect for our Salish Sea rockfish and our own version of arzillo... Thank you for finding and sharing this so beautifully.

This sounds so good! I've never been sadder about moving to a landlocked state (Colorado).

So strange to have parmesan in the filling. I would have expected it to be too earthy (though the salt in it would recall the sea).

This recipe sounds perfect! I will definitely try it! I have some old Italian cookbooks from my mother. I will have to go look through them again. Thanks for the inspiration and for the recipe.

Good Morning Emiko,

I made the Perfume of the Sea Ravioli for Sunday Supper.

While it tasted delicious your fish must have been the prize, mine needed more flavor, I added the egg, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper only.

The sauce was light and delicious, loved the idea of steaming whole fish in red sauce.

I would cook my whole fish this way and serve it as is.

The pasta was silky and so easy to work with, must be the wine.

Perfect for the delicate fish stuffing. I will make it again.

Thank you for sharing.

Have never wanted to get to the seaside, (or make ravioli, or travel to Italy!) more. Thank you for the way you enlighten our tables with your stories and recipes, Emiko.

Looking forward to cooking this recipe on the weekend, seems a good fit for an Australian summer. How many serves should this make Emiko?
