You really don't have a great substitute for Parmesan - Parmesan is a very hard, dry cheese, with very little moisture. The other cheeses that you have are going to release moisture as they cook, thus possibly ruining your ravioli - too much moisture in a ravioli pocket is a really bad idea.

There really isn't a substitute for parmesan. Since you are using it as part of a filling I would use romano. It's a staple in my refrigerator and I don't recall ever running out but if I did I would go to the market and buy some. You have a nice selection in your fridge but they wont do the job for you. I love ravioli with an alfredo sauce.

You have havarti & gouda but no PARMESAN?! The good thing about parm is that a little goes a long way, to both flavor and salt the filling. Unless you have romano or other very hard cheese (that you can't press your thumb into), I would go to the store and get Parmesan.

It won't taste the same but try the extra old cheddar. If you want a milder flavour, use mozzarella. You can buy Parmesan in a shake container that you just leave in the fridge. Lasts a long time.

do you have enough of the other cheeses to do the recipe??
then do it
You DO imply there is other stuff in the filling...
You might use up some of the other cheese and create a MORE interesting ravioli
Happy New Year...☺

a blend of parmesian and romano would work also.
