Steps:
- For the pasta: Mound the flour on a work surface. Season with a pinch of salt. Make a deep well in the middle of the flour, about 6 inches in diameter. Combine the eggs, egg yolks, olive oil and a pinch of salt together in a mixing bowl and mix well. Slowly add the egg mixture to the well in the flour, using a fork to start grabbing bits of flour from the outside of the well to mix into the egg mixture in the middle. Keep incorporating the sides of the well into the center until a tacky dough ball is formed. Knead the dough ball by hand until all the flour has fully incorporated. Wrap the dough ball well and let rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- For the filling: Combine the shrimp, Calabrian chiles, bacon, lemon and pinch of salt in a food processor. Puree for 10 to 15 seconds, then scrape down the sides and add the basil. Puree briefly until combined.
- Using a pasta roller, roll out the dough into 2 sheets of pasta thin enough to where you can feel your fingers through them (usually a number 5 to 6 on the sheeter setting). Place one sheet of the pasta dough on a well-floured surface. If using a cutter to make ravioli shapes, gently mark on the pasta sheet to see where the filling should be piped. Brush the dough with water. Add dollops of filling spaced out evenly across the middle of the sheet, using the marks as a guide. Gently brush a little bit of water over the second sheet of pasta. Place the sheet, dampened-side down, over the one with the filling, gently lining up the edges. Using your fingers, press and seal around the filling, making the seal as airtight as possible. Use a ring cutter or knife to cut out ravioli. Use your fingers to gently seal the edges and remove any air pockets and transfer the ravioli to a baking sheet sprinkled with semolina.
- For the sauce: Put a bit of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic and thyme leaves, then add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and burst, 7 to 10 minutes. Move the shallot mixture to one side of the pan, then remove the pan from the heat and deglaze with the vodka. Carefully ignite the vodka, slightly tipping the pan away from you. Once the flame subsides, return to the heat and cook at a simmer until the vodka has been reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, crushed Calabrian chiles, lemon juice and basil leaves and cook until the sauce is thickened and has reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and drop the fresh ravioli in. Cook just until it floats, about 1 1/2 minutes. Take the ravioli out of the pot with a skimmer or slotted spoon and place in the saute pan with a splash of pasta water. Toss the sauce and ravioli together over low heat.
- Using a large spoon, place the ravioli on plates and add more sauce over the top. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan.
ESCOLAR FISH WITH MANGO AND SHRIMP RAVIOLI
_**Editor's Note:** This recipe is from chef Emmanuel Piqueras Villaran of Andina restaurant in Portland, Oregon. Villaran also shared some helpful cooking tips exclusively with Epicurious, which we've added at the bottom of the page. To read more about Villaran and Peruvian cuisine, [click here.](http://eat.epicurious.com/eat/going_global/?/eat/going_global/peruvian/intro.html) _ This dish is a perfect example of VillaranŽ Novoandina ("New Andean") style of cooking. Ingredients native to Peru, such as escolar, aji, and tropical fruit, are combined in whimsical, creative ways. The presentation is very contemporary, yet the bright, satisfying contrast of crisp fish, sweet fruit, and spicy sauce is true to Peruvian flavors.

CARIBBEAN FISH WITH MANGO SALSA
Now for something completely different, how about a little Caribbean/Creole feel? This can be done with fish or with scallops and will wake up the little taste buds. Please forgive me, I am not a real recipe follower, and I change it around all the time. Hope this works for you, love to hear about it. I never wrote it as a recipe, sort of a seat of the pants guy. One item to complete it that I may add is Zatarain's Caribbean Rice®, and in this I add 1/2 red bell pepper and 1/4 cup of fresh pineapple.
