Using a ravioli cutter or a knife, cut out ravioli squares. Sprinkle with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 cup Taleggio
1 cup ricotta
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 red peppers
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
6 anchovy fillets
2 teaspoons lemon juice
11/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

  • For the ravioli: Sift the flour and salt into a mound on a clean work surface. Hollow out a well in the center of the flour. Combine the eggs and olive oil in the hollow.Whisk the eggs with a fork, slowly drawing in some of the flour. Slowly draw in more flour, using your hands until a ball forms. Knead the dough for 10 minutes, adding flour so that the dough is smooth and elastic, not sticky or wet. Place the pasta dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • In a small skillet, over medium heat melt the butter and saute the onions until tender. Combine the onions with the Taleggio, ricotta and Parmesan cheeses. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Roll 1/4 of the pasta through a pasta rolling machine starting at the widest setting and working down to the narrowest setting, rolling the pasta through twice at each setting to work the dough. Lay the rolled pasta flat and trim the edges with a pastry cutter or knife.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of filling at 2-inch intervals along the length of the pasta, 1/2-inch from the edge. Spritz the pasta with water and fold in 2, lengthwise, over the filling. Press down on the pasta all around the mounds of filling to ensure a good seal. Cut the pasta into squares with the filling in the middle. Repeat with the rest of the pasta and filling. Cover the ravioli and set aside until ready to cook. Any remaining unrolled pasta can be stored, double wrapped, in refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1month.
  • For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the peppers on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Place the hot peppers in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam. Peel the peppers and remove the stem and seeds. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil and saute the garlic for 15 seconds. Add the anchovies, reduce the heat to low and cook for 1 minute.
  • In a food processor, puree the roasted peppers, anchovy mixture, lemon juice and salt until smooth. Place in a pot and warm over medium heat.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain ravioli and toss with warm sauce. Garnish with parsley.

CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH PUMPKIN SAUCE



Cheese Ravioli with Pumpkin Sauce image

I love pumpkin ravioli, but I'm almost never in the mood for all that work. This recipe was my compromise! It uses store bought ravioli (fresh or frozen) with a homemade pumpkin sauce. If you prefer the sauce to be savory, reduce the sugar and add garlic powder for a kick. I usually serve this with a nice, fresh salad.

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:

  • Choose the right sauce: Not all sauces pair well with cheese ravioli. Some popular and delicious options include marinara, Alfredo, pesto, and butter and sage.
  • Enhance the flavor of the sauce: You can add extra ingredients to your sauce to enhance its flavor. For example, you could add garlic, onions, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes to a marinara sauce.

  • Garnish the ravioli: You can garnish the ravioli with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, or grated Parmesan cheese.
