Ravioli in Saffron Sauce

Alla Panna is cream sauce. This is an extended version of it. At the end of sauce making process, I just added a bit of saffron, soaked in cream. Hence, Ravioli in Saffron Sauce! Feel free to add any vegetables of your liking to make a round out one pot meal. or serve with your favorite sides.

Here's how I made it.
