Ravioli Dough

Method

Ravioli Dough

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs using a fork until the mixture forms a rough dough.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Ricotta Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, honey nut squash puree, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Pumpkin Seed Pesto

  1. 4

    Make the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine pumpkin seeds, basil leaves, garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Pulse until finely chopped. With the processor running, gradually add olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part out thinly on a floured surface or using a pasta machine until it's about 1/16 inch thick.

  2. 6

    Form the Ravioli

    Cut out circles or squares of dough using a cookie cutter or knife. Place a small spoonful of ricotta filling in the center of each piece. Moisten the edges with water, fold over, and press to seal tightly.

  3. 7

    Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove and drain.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Plate the ravioli and drizzle with pumpkin seed pesto. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and basil.
