Preparing the chustnut sauce. The chestnuts are from sardinia. My brother's wife land has some chustnuts trees.

Sauce is mixed with double cream ( rescued, out of date but still good) and a drop of water from the pan where the ravioli are cooked.

The dish is ready. The ravioli are made with wild herbs from the garden. The herbs were collected and kept in the freezer for winter use. I still have three bags of wild herbs to be use to make more ravioli.
