Pate Ravioli Recipe

Pate Ravioli

1. 1

   Prepare the Pasta Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the egg. Gradually mix in the flour with a fork until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Cook the Filling

   In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced shallots and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the chopped wild mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Combine Filling Ingredients

   In a bowl, mix the cooked mushroom and shallot mixture with the chopped walnuts and fresh herbs. Adjust seasoning if necessary. This will be your filling.

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal pieces. Roll out each piece on a floured surface as thinly as possible, about 1/16 inch thick.

5. 5

   Form the Ravioli

   Place a teaspoon of the filling about 1 inch apart in a line on one half of the rolled-out dough. Brush the edges of the dough with a little beaten egg. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press down to seal. Cut out individual ravioli using a knife or a pastry cutter. Ensure the edges are well sealed.

6. 6

   Cook the Ravioli

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

7. 7

   Serve

   Drain the ravioli and serve topped with additional herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a simple butter sauce. Enjoy your homemade pate ravioli!
