To make ravioli, you will need the following ingredients:
-1 cup of all-purpose flour
-1/2 cup of semolina flour
-1/2 teaspoon of salt
-3 large eggs
To make the dough, combine the flour, semolina flour, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into the well. Using a fork, slowly mix the eggs into the flour mixture, starting from the center and working your way outwards until all of the flour is incorporated. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
To make the filling, you will need the following ingredients:
-1/2 pound of ground beef
-1/2 pound of ground pork
-1 cup of ricotta cheese
-1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
-1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley
-1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil
-1/4 cup of chopped fresh oregano
-1/2 teaspoon of salt
-1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
-1/4 teaspoon of grated nutmeg
To make the filling, combine the ground beef, ground pork, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Mix well to combine.
To assemble the ravioli, divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll out one piece of dough on a lightly floured surface until it is very thin, about 1/8 inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut the dough into 2-inch circles. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the dough circle. Place another dough circle on top of the filling, pressing down around the edges to seal the ravioli. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
To cook the ravioli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the ravioli from the water and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve the ravioli with your favorite sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.
In summary, to make ravioli, you will need to make the dough, prepare the filling, assemble the ravioli, and cook them in boiling water. The process may seem daunting at first, but with a little practice and patience, you can easily make delicious homemade ravioli.
