Filling and Dough

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in warm water for about 20 minutes until rehydrated. Drain and chop finely. In a mixing bowl, combine squacquerone cheese, shredded rabbit meat, chopped porcini, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well until combined.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is very thin, about 1/8 inch thick. Use a pasta machine if available.

  4. 4

    Form the Ravioli

    Cut the rolled dough into squares (about 3 inches). Place a small amount of filling (about 1 tablespoon) in the center of each square. Moisten the edges with water and fold the square over to create a triangle. Press the edges to seal. Repeat until all filling is used.

  5. 5

    Cook the Ravioli

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the cooked ravioli and sauté for 2 minutes until lightly browned. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
