5 ingredients and less than 30 minutes ..it’s easier than you thought
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups ricotta
- Salt
- Parsley
Instructions
- Crack 4 eggs in mixer bowl and lightly beat
- Mix in flour 1 cup at time until incorporated, wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for 10 minutes
- Mix remaining egg with mozzarella, Parmesan and ricotta. Season with salt and parsley
- Take dough out of fridge and flour the counter
- Cut dough into sections, roll out thin (1/4 inch) and cut into strips roughly 3 inches wide
- Place a dollop of cheese mix, using a pastry brush wet the edges and fold over the dough
- Using a fork make indents to seal edges. Repeat until all dough is used up. This should make roughly 20 ravioli depending on your sizes
- If freezing them for later, place them on parchment lined sheet, put in freezer than transfer to bag
- If cooking, bring water to boil and cook roughly 4-6 minutes or until they float and dough is no longer sticky
This is such a quick and easy process, and you can swap out the filling ingredients for whatever you want too. Feeling like cheddar and Colby, do it. Think potato and bacon is more your speed, try it out (although I would make mashed before stuffing them). Spice it up with ground beef and taco seasoning, it’s mexi-talian.
I have recently started making my own tomato sauce so if you’ve got a few hours that are free and want to give it a-go you can check that out here and have a completely from scratch dinner. That reminds me, I also make some killer bread sticks because what Italian meal is complete without those.
Pasta is a tricky thing that often intimidates people but don’t let this scare you, just know if it turns out awful you can always order pizza 🙂
