The word “cacciatore,” as you may have guessed, is Italian, and translates to “hunter.” Dishes prepared “hunter-style” in Italy typically start with a type of meat like chicken or rabbit and are then combined with onions, herbs, tomatoes, peppers and sometimes even a splash of wine. Traditionally, cacciatore is served with bread or pasta on the side, but this dish combines chicken cacciatore with another classic Italian dish—ravioli! The result is a hearty, delicious spin on two traditional Italian dinners. Though this recipe ditches the wine, feel free to experiment with your sauce and tip a bit in! Dinner mash-ups are one of our favorite things to experiment with in the kitchen, and ravioli lends itself well to that!
