A common vegetarian option includes ricotta cheese and vegetables such as spinach. The filling could be also potatoes, squash or even tofu – pretty much anything goes! There are even some dessert raviolis such as chocolate ravioli or berry filled ravioli. The leftovers I had to work with include…
crumbled blue cheese, caramelized onions:
red onion & chopped grape tomatoes:
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
In an electric mixer fit in your dough hook.
In your mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue to mix.
Pour in olive oil.
Continue to mix until a smooth dough is formed.
If the dough is too dry drizzle in a bit of water.
If it is too wet sprinkle in some more flour.
Dust some flour on a work surface.
Kknead and fold the dough until it is elastic and smooth,
This kneading should take about 10 minutes.
Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining olive oil
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap;
Let rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
Cut the ball of dough in half.
Cover and reserve the piece you are not using to prevent it from drying out.
Dust the counter and dough with a little flour.
Press the dough into a rectangle and roll it with a rolling pin.
Dust the sheets with extra flour whenever the dough gets sticky.
Continue rolling until the dough is paper-thin, about 1/8-inch thick for ravioli.
Use the dough with your ravioli mold and fill.
For an extra seal, use a fork to crimp the edges.
Repeat and oll out the other half.
for a quick dinner in the future.
