Ravioli di ricotta 

Ingredients for 4 people

 

For the fresh pasta:

3 eggs

300 gr flour

pinch of salt

 

For the filling:

250gr fresh ricotta di pecora (sheep ricotta)

100 gr grated parmesan cheese

pinch of nutmeg, pinch of salt and pepper

1 egg

 

Preparation of the pasta:

Make a basin of the flour and break the eggs in the middle. With a fork you beat the eggs and little by little you take some flour with the fork. Make a dough of the whole and knead everything well into a ball for 10 minutes. Rest the dough for 30 minutes, wrapped in cellophane so that the gluten can do their work.

Roll out the dough with the (long) rolling pin or with the pasta machine until you get a sfoglia about 1.5 millimeters thick, or rather thin!

 

Preparation of the filling:

Place the ricotta, parmesan, egg, nutmeg, pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Make a firm filling.

 

Preparation of the ravioli:

Place a strip of dough of about 8 cm on the work table. Using a teaspoon, put a little of the filling in the center. Leave about 2 cm between one pile and the other. Finish the entire strip like this and knock the dough back so that you get packages. Using a knife, cut the ravioli apart and seal them one by one with a fork.

 

For the sauce:

You can serve these ravioli with melted butter and sage and a little extra parmesan cheese on top. You can of course also make a ragu with ground beef and tomato sauce.
