Recipe information

Make Ravioli Al Ragu' Bolognese in just 1h 30m. Fresh Three Cheese filled Ravioli served with a hearty traditional Northern Italian Meat Sauce.

Making the Ravioli

1. Prepare the Pasta Dough

On a clean surface, make a mound of flour and create a well in the center. Add the eggs and salt into the well. Gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.

2. Make the Cheese Filling

In a bowl, mix the ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

3. Roll Out the Dough

Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.

4. Assemble the Ravioli

Place small spoonfuls of the cheese mixture on one sheet, leaving space in between. Brush water around the filling, then cover with another sheet of dough. Press down to seal and cut into squares.

Preparing the Ragu Bolognese

5. Cook the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Brown the Meat

Add the ground beef and pork to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.

7. Add Tomato Paste and Wine

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the red wine and let it simmer until reduced by half.

8. Finish the Sauce

Add the crushed tomatoes, milk, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

10. Serve

Drain the ravioli and serve topped with the ragu bolognese sauce.
