History and inspiration Ravioli has a rich history with deep roots in the European culinary tradition. Over the years, different cultures have developed their own versions, but the essence remains the same: a fine dough filled with various ingredients. Our recipe combines modern influences like organic sweet paprika and goat's cheese with the classic ricotta and spinach filling. Ingredients needed To make these delicious ravioli, you will need the following ingredients: For the dough: - 3 tablespoons organic sweet paprika - 160 g quality flour - 40 g semolina - 2 eggs For the filling - 50 g ricotta - 150 g goat cheese - 100 g baby spinach (about one head) - 2 cloves garlic For the quattro funghi sauce - 4 Champignon mushrooms - 4 hribi mushrooms - 8-9 galbiori mushrooms - 4-5 zbarciog mushrooms - 25 g butter - 7 tbsp olive oil - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme - 40 ml good quality white wine, semi-dry - Salt and white pepper to taste Preparing the ingredients Before starting, make sure the goat's cheese and ricotta have been left to drain to remove excess liquid. This step is crucial to avoid too wet a filling, which could compromise the texture of the ravioli. The perfect dough 1. In a large bowl, mix the flour with the semolina and sweet paprika. This combination will not only give a vibrant color to the dough, but will also add a subtle but distinct flavor. 2. Make a dent in the middle of the flour mixture and add the eggs. Using a fork, begin to incorporate the flour into the eggs until the dough begins to come together. 3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour, but avoid overdoing it. 4. Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes. This step helps the gluten relax, making it easier to stretch later. Savory filling 1. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Wash the baby spinach and sauté it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and the two cloves of garlic, finely chopped. Sauté until the spinach is softened, then leave to cool. 2. In a bowl, mix together the goat's cheese, ricotta and the softened spinach. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. The filling should be creamy and flavorful. Making the ravioli 1. Divide the dough into two equal parts. On a well floured surface, roll out one part of the dough to a thickness of about 2 mm. It is essential that the dough is thin to make light and delicate ravioli. 2. Using a teaspoon, spoon a portion of filling about 5cm apart onto the dough. Keep the edges loose to ensure a good seal. 3. Cover the filling with the other half of the dough and press gently to remove air between the ravioli. Cut the ravioli with a knife or special cutter, taking care to seal the edges well. 4. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Quattro funghi sauce 1. In a large frying pan, add olive oil and butter. When the butter has melted, add the sliced mushrooms (Champignon, hribi, galbiori and zbarciogi) and sauté over medium heat until golden brown. 2. Add the white wine and simmer for a few minutes until the alcohol evaporates. Season with dried thyme, salt and white pepper. Cooking the ravioli 1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until they rise to the surface. 2. Using a spatula or slotted spoon, remove the ravioli from the water and add them directly to the pan with the mushroom sauce. Stir gently to coat each ravioli with sauce. Serving Serve the ravioli hot, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle grated goat's cheese on top, if desired. This dish pairs perfectly with a glass of demisec white wine, which will perfectly complement the rich flavors of the filling and sauce. Useful tips - If you want to save time, you can use store-bought ravioli sheets. Just be sure to fill them with the prepared filling, sealing the edges well. - Depending on the season, you can try other fillings, such as pumpkin or mushrooms, to add a little variety. - Ravioli can be frozen before cooking. Make sure to lay them in a single layer on a tray and once they have firmed up, you can transfer them to an airtight container.
