Ravioli

I made ravioli with a stuffing of ricotta, parmiggiano, sage, mint, parsley and cinnamon basil. The sauce is a simple tomato sauce with the addition of orange zest and juice.

wow...those had to be absolutely full of fresh, intense flavors.

I can be a bit anal about putting too many herbs/spices together (yet I like Old Bay, which is a shotgun blast of everything in the spice rack...somehow it works), or where I put orange zest, but what was your take on it? Was it a par-tay in your mouth?

I was pretty happy with how everything melded together. Lindz found that she preferred the ravioli unsauced, with a bit of olive oil and salt.
The sage dominated a bit, and the mint and parsley gave a lightness and a green-ness. The basil added a bit of a snap. The orange (along with a few drops of habanero Tabasco) made it a light, bright sauce. I may use less sage next time. The meal was a bit of work, but not bad.
