Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 eggs
1 ½ tablespoons water
1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup provolone cheese, shredded
1 egg
1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons prepared basil pesto sauce
2 cups heavy cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Mound the flour and salt together on a work surface and form a well. Beat the teaspoon of olive oil, 2 eggs, and water in a bowl. Pour half the egg mixture into the well. Begin mixing the egg with the flour with one hand; use your other hand to keep the flour mound steady. Add the remaining egg mixture and knead to form a dough.
  • Knead the dough until smooth, 8 to 10 minutes; add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Form the dough into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • While the dough is resting, prepare the ravioli filling. Combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, egg, and parsley and mix well. Set the filling aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and pesto sauce and cook for one minute. Pour in the heavy cream, raise the heat to high, and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Remove the pan from the heat and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, warm the marinara sauce over medium-low heat.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to make the egg wash.
  • Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets no thicker than a nickel. To assemble the ravioli, brush the egg wash over a sheet of pasta. Drop the filling mixture on the dough by teaspoonfuls about one inch apart. Cover the filling with the top sheet of pasta, pressing out the air from around each portion of filling. Press firmly around the filling to seal. Cut into individual ravioli with a knife or pizza cutter. Seal the edges.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the ravioli, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the ravioli float to the top and the filling is hot, 4 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
  • Grease a baking sheet. Place the cooked ravioli on the sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven until brown, about 4 minutes.
  • To serve the ravioli, divide them among four warmed serving bowls. Drizzle the marinara sauce over the ravioli and then top with the cream sauce.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 packed cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 packed cup fresh Italian parsley leaves
1/2 packed cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup (1 1/2 ounces) grated Parmesan
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups (12 ounces), fresh whole-milk ricotta
3/4 packed cup (3 ounces) coarsely grated mozzarella, at room temperature
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, at room temperature
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1 /2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
35 store-bought wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • For the pesto: In a food processor, combine the basil, parsley, mint, Parmesan, pine nuts, anchovy paste, pepper and garlic. Pulse until chunky. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil until the pesto is smooth.
  • For the ravioli: In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, mascarpone, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the egg and 1 teaspoon water until smooth.
  • Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the wonton wrappers with the egg mixture. Spoon 1 level tablespoon of the filling into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the opposite corners of each wonton wrapper over to form triangle shapes. Seal the edges firmly, pressing out any air around the filling. (Can be made a few hours in advance. Cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to use.)
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and the olive oil. In batches, add the ravioli to the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the ravioli and drain in a colander. Transfer the ravioli to shallow soup bowls. Spoon the sauce over the ravioli and serve.

Steps:

  • To make the pasta, sift the flour and a pinch of salt onto a work surface and make a dip in the middle. Add the eggs and mix into a smooth dough.
  • Shape the dough into a smooth ball, wrap in a damp cloth or tea-towel and leave for thirty minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling by putting the ricotta and Bel Paese in a bowl and beat well. Add the rest of the ingredients with another pinch of salt and beat thoroughly.
  • Roll out the dough until it is paper thin. Cut into 4cm squares with a zigzag edge cutter. Put a little filling in the middle of each square then fold over the corner to make a triangle. Squidge together the corners so the filling doesn't come out and boil in the stock for five minutes.
  • Add a sauce to your liking and serve with a basil leaf on top. Voila! :-)

FOUR CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY



Four Cheese Ravioli With Rosemary Butter Sauce Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: '00' grade pasta flour, eggs, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, grated mozzarella cheese, grated cheddar cheese, fresh parsley leaf, salt, pepper, fresh rosemary, butter, pine nuts

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ⅓ cups '00' grade pasta flour, plus more for dusting
3 eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese
½ cup cream cheese
½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
1 handful fresh parsley leaf, finely chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, just the leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
¾ cup pine nuts

Steps:

  • Pour the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre, crack the eggs into the well and mix everything together with a spoon or fork.
  • When the mixture has combined, knead the dough for 5 minutes. Form it into a ball, wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is in the fridge, mix together the ricotta, cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, parsley and a sprinkling of salt and pepper to make the filling. Set aside until needed.
  • On a floured surface, roll half of the dough out as thin as you can using a rolling pin to make a long rectangular shape (If you have a pasta machine, use the 2nd thinnest setting) - keep the other half of the dough in cling film in the fridge to keep it fresh until you're ready for it.
  • On one side, dollop tablespoons of the cheese filling onto the pasta, leaving at least a 1-2cm (⅓-¾ inch) gap in all directions.
  • Brush the pasta that's surrounding the filling with water or egg white. Fold the other side of the past over and on top of the filling, pushing down around each part to seal it in, creating a long strip of ravioli pieces.
  • Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut around and create individual pieces of ravioli.
  • Dust these pieces with flour and repeat from step 4 using the other half of the dough.
  • Boil the pasta in salted water on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the pasta floats to the top, then drain.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan then add the pine nuts, cook for 2 minutes then add the rosemary - cook for a further minute or two until the pine nuts look toasted and the rosemary has just begun to brown and crisp up a bit.
  • Enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Four Cheese Ravioli:

  • Use fresh, high-quality cheese for the filling. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the ravioli.
  • Make sure the dough is thin enough so that it cooks evenly. If the dough is too thick, the ravioli will be gummy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when cooking the ravioli. This will cause the ravioli to stick together and cook unevenly.
  • Serve the ravioli with your favorite sauce. A simple tomato sauce or a pesto sauce are both great options.

Conclusion:

Four cheese ravioli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your four cheese ravioli turns out perfectly every time.
