Roasted Pepper & Fresh Mozzarella Ravioli Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Gradually mix the flour into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Make the Filling

   In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red bell peppers, fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece out into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.

5. 5

   Fill the Ravioli

   Place small spoonfuls of the filling onto one sheet of pasta, spacing them evenly. Moisten the edges with water, then place another sheet of pasta on top and press down to seal.

6. 6

   Cook the Ravioli

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove the ravioli with a slotted spoon and serve hot, drizzled with olive oil and garnished with additional basil if desired.
