Description

Artichoke Ravioli Ingredients

For the Pasta Dough

For the Filling:

For the Sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta Dough
    • On a clean surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add the olive oil and salt.
    • Use a fork to gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
    • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Roll Out the Dough
    • Divide the rested dough into 2 portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface until very thin, about 1/16 inch thick.
    • Place small spoonfuls of the filling evenly spaced on one sheet of dough. Cover with the second sheet and press around the mounds to seal. Cut into individual ravioli with a knife or ravioli cutter.
  4. Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  5. Prepare the Sauce
    • In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
    • Toss the cooked ravioli in the sauce until well coated.
  6. Serve

    Arrange the ravioli on plates, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Buon appetito!
