TOASTED RAVIOLI AND BASIC RAVIOLI DOUGH



Toasted Ravioli and Basic Ravioli Dough image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Time 2h20m

Yield 40 (2-inch) ravioli

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup semolina flour
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling dough
Pinch kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil
1 pound shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
1/2 pound ground beef, cooked and drained of excess oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 eggs, 1 lightly beaten for egg wash
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
1/8 cup grated Parmesan
Canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • For the dough: Sift the flours and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Whisk together the eggs, oil, and 2 tablespoons water in a separate bowl. Pour the flour mixture onto a clean dry work surface and form a small well in the center. Pour half of the egg mixture into the well and, using a fork, begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture. Once absorbed, incorporate the remaining egg mixture and knead by hand until all of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 6 minutes, flouring your work surface as needed to ensure the dough doesn't stick. Roll the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour. For the filling: Mix together all of the ingredients until fully incorporated in a bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour. To assemble: Divide the rested dough into 2 equal-size pieces and roll out on a floured work surface to a thickness of 1/8-inch. On 1 dough sheet, distribute tablespoon-sized portions of the filling, at least 2 inches apart. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash. Carefully lay the second sheet of dough on top and press the edges shut with your fingertips. Use a round 1 1/2-inch ravioli cutter to portion out ravioli pieces, pinching the edges shut to ensure no air is trapped inside. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Whisk the remaining 3 eggs and cream in a shallow bowl. Place the breadcrumbs and Parmesan into another shallow bowl and stir to combine. Dredge the ravioli in the egg mixture, followed by the breadcrumb mixture. Working in batches, carefully drop the ravioli into the saucepan and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, making sure that the oil comes back up to temperature in between batches. Place directly onto a cooling rack lined with aluminum foil to drain any excess oil. Serve with warm tomato sauce and freshly grated Parmesan.;
  • Serving suggestion: tomato sauce and freshly grated Parmesan.

Time 47m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/8-1/4 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 cup onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 lbs ground pork
1 1/2 lbs ground veal (chicken or turkey may be substituted)
1 (10 ounce) package chopped spinach (cooked and well-drained)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup grated romano cheese or 1 cup parmesan cheese, your choice
2 -3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 dash clove (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the dough first, this can be done a day in advance. Before you use the dough, it needs to be at room temperature.
  • First, brown the beef in a skillet and drain all the fat. Set aside to let cool.
  • In a food processor add the garlic and onion chop very fine.
  • Now add the cooked hamburger and process very fine. Add the cheese, parsley flakes, basil, oregano, salt and pepper; mix very well in the food process bowl. Refrigerate until ready for use.
  • To make the dough for the ravioli, divide it into 8 pieces making sure the dough is stiff.
  • Roll 1 piece at a time on a floured surface as thin as possible. If using a pasta machine or Kitchen-Aid pasta roller, roll it into 1/16 of an inch or so. (I have a Kitchen Aid pasta roller and this only takes 2-3 minutes for the bottom and the top pieces of the dough).
  • Using a ravioli tray, add a little flour across the tray to keep them to sticking to the tray. Put the first piece of dough across and fill each ravioli with the mixture.
  • Now put the second piece of the dough on top of the tray. Use a rolling pin to seal the sides of the ravioli. Flip the tray upside down and the ravioli will fall out.Seal with an egg mixture! (Now that is 1 egg and 1/4 cup milk wisked).
  • To cook, bring to a boil 4-6 cups of water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
  • Boil for about 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce or try mine
  • Recipe #106003.
  • Option #2:.
  • Sauté meat in butter. Season lightly with salt.
  • Use meat grinder to process the meats. Add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix until well-combined.
  • Cover the filling and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
  • Once the filling has rested, you can begin making your ravioli.

HOMEMADE RAVIOLI



Homemade ravioli image

Turn your hand to making your own pasta with this homemade ravioli. It's stuffed with a creamy ricotta and spinach filling and tossed in sage butter to finish

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

300g '00' flour, plus extra for dusting
2 eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
200g baby spinach
½ lemon, zested
nutmeg, for grating
250g ricotta
50g butter
a handful of sage leaves
grated parmesan or vegetarian alternative
a squeeze of lemon juice

Steps:

  • To make the pasta, put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the middle. Add the eggs and egg yolks and mix with a fork, bringing more of the flour in from the sides as you mix. Once the mixture comes together into a ball, tip it out onto a work surface and knead for 10-15 mins until firm and smooth. Wrap and leave to rest for 30 mins.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the garlic for 30 seconds. Add the spinach with a few tablespoons of water, and cook until the spinach has wilted and is dark green and the water has evaporated. Stir in the lemon zest, grate over some nutmeg and season. Tip the mixture into a bowl and leave to cool.
  • Cut the pasta dough into four pieces so it's easier to work with. Run one piece through a pasta machine (leaving the remaining pieces covered to prevent them drying out), starting with the widest setting and working down to the thinnest setting. Keep the machine and the pasta well floured to prevent sticking or tearing.
  • Mix the ricotta into the spinach mixture and season well. Do this just before you're ready to fill the pasta, or chill until needed.
  • To make the ravioli, cut a sheet of pasta in half so you have two equal lengths. Lay out on a well-floured work surface, then spoon heaped teaspoons of the filling, spaced 5cm apart, over one of the pasta sheets. Brush the exposed pasta around the filling with water. Gently lift the second pasta sheet over the fillings, and use the side of your hand to press the pasta sheets together around the fillings to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
  • Stamp out the ravioli using a round cutter (position it so the filling is in the centre of the circle), or use a sharp knife to cut out square ravioli. Arrange in a single layer over baking trays dusted with flour, then repeat the process with the remaining pasta dough pieces. Will keep, covered and chilled, for up to two days.
  • To cook, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and gently lower in the ravioli using a slotted spoon. Boil for 2-3 mins until the pasta is cooked through, then remove to a bowl using a slotted spoon. (You may need to cook the ravioli in batches to ensure it's evenly cooked.)
  • Heat the butter in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat, drop in the sage and fry until the butter turns a nutty brown and the sage leaves are crisp. Remove from the heat and toss in the ravioli. Sprinkle with parmesan and some lemon juice, then season with cracked black pepper and toss gently in the butter to coat. Divide between warm bowls and sprinkle with more parmesan before serving.

Tips:

  • Select the finest ingredients: Use high-quality flour, eggs, and fillings to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Master the art of dough making: Knead the dough properly to achieve the right consistency and elasticity.
  • Let the dough rest: Allow the dough to rest before rolling and cutting to improve its workability and prevent tearing.
  • Roll the dough thinly: Thinly rolled dough will cook evenly and provide a delicate texture to the ravioli.
  • Generously fill the ravioli: Don't be shy with the filling! A generous amount of filling will make the ravioli more flavorful and satisfying.
  • Seal the ravioli properly: Make sure to seal the edges of the ravioli tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
  • Cook the ravioli in simmering water: Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer and gently drop in the ravioli. Avoid boiling the water vigorously, as this can cause the ravioli to break.
  • Serve with your favorite sauce: Once the ravioli are cooked, drain them and toss them with your favorite sauce. Some popular options include tomato sauce, pesto, or butter and sage.
