Ravioli Dough

Leek Fondue

Spicy Mostarda

Method

Ravioli Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Mix together until a dough begins to form.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

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

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked lobster meat, crab meat, ricotta cheese, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Leek Fondue Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté the Leeks

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Make the Fondue

    Pour in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.

Spicy Mostarda Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Mostarda

    In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Set aside.

Pistachio Pesto Preparation

  1. 7

    Blend the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine the pistachios, basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 8

    Roll Out the Dough

    Divide the dough into quarters. Roll each quarter into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.

  2. 9

    Fill the Ravioli

    Place small mounds of the lobster and crab filling onto one sheet of dough, spacing them evenly. Moisten the edges with water, then place another sheet of dough on top. Press down to seal and cut into squares.

  3. 10

    Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove and drain.

  4. 11

    Serve

    On a plate, create a bed of leek fondue, place the cooked ravioli on top, drizzle with spicy mostarda, and finish with a dollop of pistachio pesto.
