CHEESE FILLING FOR RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Mix together all ingredients well and fill pasta.

THREE CHEESE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• For the Pasta:.
• For our family of 5 I use 4 cups four and 4 eggs and a pinch of salt, and we eat it all! Rule of thumb for pasta is one large egg to one cup of flour and a pinch salt.
• Directly on the kitchen counter pile your flour and make a well in the centre. Crack the eggs into the well and top with pinch of salt. Using a fork, scramble the egg and slowly incorporated the flour until you have mixed all the egg with all the flour and have a very stiff dough. It needs to be very firm, don't worry if it feels tough. Knead the pasta dough until even on a lightly floured surface, adding more flour until the dough no longer sticks to the surface. Set aside and make you filling.
• At this point, if you have a pasta machine to roll the dough out and stretch it, great, it not, you can use a rolling pin with equal success. Divide dough into smaller balls and begin rolling on a lightly floured surface. Roll until the pasta is very thin, and no longer contracts back into itself. This is called "Breaking" the dough. When you have reached this point, you can cut the pasta into the shapes you would like, place the filling inside (a spoonful for ravioli) Close and seal the pasta. Set aside on a lightly floured surface until all are ready to cook. Cook in boiling salted water for 2 minutes (or less) when the filled pasta shapes float. Remove to a buttered dish and when all shapes have been cooked, pour over the sauce, and serve.
• For the filling:.
• In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients and combine well and evenly. Adjust seasoning to taste. Either place by teaspoonful onto ravioli shapes, or use to fill canneloni tubes. I have even used this stirred through Macaroni noodles!
• For the sauce:.
• Empty the tomatoes into a saucepan and heat gently. When thoroughly heated through, add the whipping cream and heat through. Do not boil or the cream will curdle. If you are making Ravioli, or pasta shapes, pour over, mix gently and serve. If you are making the stuffed canneloni, pour over the stuffed pasta grate over extra edam cheese and parmesan cheese, and place in the oven. Bake at 350 until heated through, the pasta soft, and the sauce gently bubbling.

HOMEMADE THREE CHEESE RAVIOLI RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Instructions For the Filling: Prepare the filling by combining all ingredients thoroughly and refrigerating until needed. For the Pasta: Measure flour into a pile on counter or work surface. Make a well in the middle and break 4 eggs into it. Add salt and olive oil. Start whisking eggs with a fork until well mixed and then gradually start pulling flour from the sides into the egg. Continue adding flour until it is too difficult to work with a fork. Gather up dough and start kneading, kneading in more flour as necessary to make a smooth dough that is not sticky. Knead until dough feels smooth (about 5-10 minutes). Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap and leave at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Cut dough into 4 pieces. Remove one piece and re-wrap the other 3 for later. Process dough though pasta roller, starting with the widest setting, folding and re-rolling several times. Start moving through the thinner settings until setting 5 (on Kitchen Aid roller or for other machines, not the thinnest but a couple notches back). Lay dough onto floured counter. Locate and lightly mark the center of the dough with a knife. Place 1 rounded teaspoon of filling every 2 inches down the center of one half of the dough. Gently wet the edges of the filled side with wet fingertips. Fold the other half of dough over top, pressing air out from around the filling and pressing lightly along the edges. Using a ravioli or pizza cutter, cut into individual raviolis. Move to a flour-dusted baking sheet while you make more from the reserved dough in the same manner. To freeze, simply put the baking sheet with the ravioli on it into the freezer for 30-60 minutes until firm and then transfer to a freezer bag. To serve immediately, cook in salted, boiling water for 3-5 minutes. For the sauce (if using): Heat olive oil in frying pan. Add garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat (to avoid burning garlic). Take cherry tomatoes and squeeze each half into the frying pan, removing juice and seed. Add tomatoes to pan as well. Return to medium-high heat and cook until tomatoes are softened but still hold their shape. Reduce heat to medium and add cream. Add a couple of Tablespoons of the pasta water to the frying pan. Sprinkle spinach over top of tomatoes and cook just until spinach starts to wilt. To serve, place ravioli in a large, shallow bowl or plate. Top with tomato/spinach sauce. Add freshly ground pepper and salt, to taste. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan.

3 CHEESE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Mix the three cheeses together. Working on a clean, floured surface, lay down a single wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center. Paint the edges of the wonton wrapper with egg whites, then top with another wonton wrapper. Press firmly around the edges to secure the filling. Repeat to create 24 ravioli.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the tomatoes and garlic for 5 to 7 minutes until the tomatoes are lightly colored and about to burst. Use a fork to lightly crush a few tomatoes. Add the basil and remove from heat.
• Salt the boiling water and turn to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the ravioli in and cook for three minutes, then drain. Divide among four plates and top each with tomatoes.

SPINACH AND THREE CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH SUGO SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the pasta dough as directed in the master recipe.
• To make the filling: Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, stirring to incorporate.
• To make the sauce: Coat a wide saute pan with olive oil and place over medium heat. When the oil gets hazy, add the onions, garlic, and anchovies; cook and stir for 5 minutes until fragrant and soft. Add the olives, capers, and hand torn basil. Carefully add the tomatoes (nothing splashes like tomatoes), cook and stir over low heat, until the liquid is cooked down and the sauce is thick, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Yield: 24 ravioli
• Pasta Dough for Ravioli:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs, plus 1 for egg wash
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Cornmeal, for dusting
• To make the pasta dough: In an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook*, combine the flour and salt. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue to mix. Drizzle in 1 tablespoons of the olive oil and continue to incorporate all the flour until it forms a ball. Sprinkle some flour on work surface, knead and fold the dough until elastic and smooth, this should take about 10 minutes. Brush the surface with the remaining olive oil and wrap the dough in plastic wrap; let rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
• *Alternatively if you don't have an electric mixer: Combine the flour and salt on a flat work surface; shape into a mound and make a well in the center. Add the eggs and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the well and lightly beat with a fork. Gradually draw in the flour from the inside wall of the well in a circular motion. Use 1 hand for mixing and the other to protect the outer wall. Continue to incorporate all the flour until it forms a ball. Continue as directed above.
• Cut the ball of dough in 1/2, cover and reserve the piece you are not immediately 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 through a pasta machine, 2 or 3 times, at widest setting. Pull and stretch the sheet of dough with the palm of your hand as it emerges from the rollers. Reduce the setting and crank the dough through again, 2 or 3 times. Continue tightening until the machine is at the narrowest setting; the dough should be paper-thin, about 1/8-inch thick (you should be able to see your hand through it.). Dust the sheets of dough with flour as needed.
• Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Dust the counter and sheet of dough with flour, lay out the long sheet of pasta, and brush the top surface with the egg wash, which acts as a glue. Drop tablespoons of your favorite filling on 1/2 of the pasta sheet, about 2-inches apart. Fold the other 1/2 over the filling like a blanket. With an espresso cup or fingers, gently press out air pockets around each mound of filling. Use a sharp knife to cut each pillow into squares and crimp the 4 edges with the tins of a fork to make a tight seal. Dust the ravioli and a sheet pan with cornmeal to prevent the pasta from sticking and lay them out to dry slightly while assembling the rest.
• Cook the ravioli in plenty of boiling salted water for 4 minutes; they'll float to the top when ready, so be careful not to overcrowd the pot. Lift the ravioli from water with a large strainer or slotted spoon. Bath the ravioli in your favorite sauce to lightly coat and serve.
