Homemade Ravioli

Ingredients
  

Ravioli

  • 2 cups 12 1/2 ounces 00 flour (whole foods and amazon sell this)
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • semolina flour for dusting pasta

Filling

  • ¾ c. homemade ricotta or use store bought and strain in cheesecloth 30 mins
  • 2 T. Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 3-4 garlic cloves chopped finely
  • ¼ tsp salt dash of pepper
  • chopped parsley
  • Optional: add 1/2 c. fresh chopped lobster for lobster ravioli

Instructions
 

  • You can mix everything together in a bowl by hand and knead into a dough or you can use a kitchen aid mixer and let the dough hook do the kneading.
  • Once your dough is made and not too sticky (add flour a drop at a time if needed on your work surface) let it rest covered in a disk shape for 20 mins.
  • Cut the dough into smaller pieces and run through your pasta roller. I like to use the Kitchen aid roller starting at 1 and rolling until about a 5.
  • Lay sheets out and keep covered so they don't dry out.

Filling

  • Mix all to combine.

Assembly

  • Lay out one sheet and dollop your filling across leaving space between. If wide enough, you can make two rows of filling dollops.
  • Lightly dab water around each circle of filling and lay a second sheet on top of filling, pressing out air bubbles as you push around each dollop.
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut your ravioli out.
  • Lay on a sheet pan with semolina on the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
  • To cook, bring water to a boil. Lower to a simmer and gently cook ravioli until they rise to the top.
