Pasta Dough

Method

Pasta Dough

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the eggs until the dough starts to come together.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto 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.

Crawfish Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the crawfish tails, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal parts. Roll out each part into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, dusting with flour as needed.

  2. 5

    Form the Ravioli

    Place a teaspoon of the crawfish filling about 1 inch apart on one sheet of pasta. Moisten the edges of the pasta with water, then place another sheet over the top. Press down around the filling to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.

  3. 6

    Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the ravioli and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Sauce

  1. 7

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and Cajun seasoning, bringing to a gentle simmer for about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 8

    Finish the Dish

    Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
