Homemade pasta is so easy and so worth it. It is not something I do on a Tuesday night, but something I enjoy doing on the weekend when I can spend some leisure time in the kitchen.
Last Saturday night we stayed in made ricotta ravioli in a simple tomato basil sauce. It was fun to turn some really simple (and inexpensive) ingredients, into a hand-crafted special dinner. Oh yeah... it was a pretty crazy Saturday night! Homemade Ricotta Ravioli
4 servings
1 recipe of fresh pasta
1 cup of ricotta cheese
1/2 cup of parmesan cheeese
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper1 recipe of tomato sauce (or Fresh Heirloom Tomato Basil Sauce)
Start by making a batch of pasta dough (Pasta Recipe). After the dough as rested 20 minutes, divide it into 4 pieces and roll them out into thin long pieces in the pasta roller. Each piece should be about 4"x 24".
We received this ravioli mold for a wedding gift - I can't believe how great it works. Each little pillow turned out perfect and professional looking.
Lay out one piece of dough and put dollops of the ricotta mixture every 2 inches (in a grid pattern). Place a 2nd sheet of dough over the ricotta and seal around it with your fingers. Cut the ravioli apart with a knife.
*Yes that is Mike getting in on the fun...
To cook the ravioli, boil in a large pot of salted water for 1-2 minutes, or until they are floating.
*Toss them in a simple tomato basil sauce or (if it Summer and the tomatoes are plenty) Fresh Heirloom Tomato Basil Sauce and serve with parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
