Ingredients
- 300 g of all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 200 g of fior di latte mozzarella
- 50 g of sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Grated Parmigiano Reggiano (optional)
- Butter and sage for seasoning
Preparation
Preparation of fresh pasta:
In a bowl or on a pastry board, pour the flour in a mound and add the eggs in the center. Knead vigorously until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. If it is too dry, you can add a little water. Let the dough rest covered with a cloth for about 30 minutes.
Preparation of the filling:
Cut the mozzarella fior di latte into small cubes and finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes drained of oil. Mix the two ingredients in a bowl with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. If you prefer, you can also add some grated Parmigiano Reggiano for an extra touch of flavor.
Preparation of the ravioli:
Divide the dough into two parts and roll it out with a rolling pin or a pasta machine until you obtain thin sheets. Place small heaps of filling spaced apart on one of the sheets. Cover with the other sheet and, pressing gently around the heaps of filling, cut out the ravioli with a pastry wheel or a cutter. Ensure the edges are well sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
Cooking the ravioli:
Bring plenty of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli for about 3-4 minutes, or until they rise to the surface.
Seasoning:
In a pan, melt a knob of butter and add some fresh sage leaves. When the butter is well melted and fragrant, drain the ravioli and briefly toss them in the pan to blend them with the seasoning.
Serving:
Serve the ravioli hot, seasoned with butter and sage, and a sprinkle of Parmesan, if desired. They are perfect when accompanied by a glass of fresh white wine.
Enjoy your meal!
