Ravioli

Meatballs

Princess Sauce

Method

Ravioli

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Using a fork, beat the eggs gently and gradually incorporate the flour until a dough starts to form.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

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

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, Gorgonzola, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, roll out the dough into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.

  5. 5

    Assemble Ravioli

    Place a teaspoon of filling on the dough sheet, fold over, and press to seal. Cut into squares or desired shapes.

Meatballs

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and parsley. Mix until just combined.

  2. 7

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  3. 8

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

Princess Sauce

  1. 9

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 10

    Prepare the Sauce

    Add tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and basil. Cook for another 5 minutes.

  3. 11

    Combine Meatballs with Sauce

    Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce, and simmer together for 10 minutes.

Assembly
