Raviolo AlUovo
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 2 large eggs plus 8 large egg yolks
- Kosher salt
- All-purpose flour, as needed
- 1/2 recipe Chef Annes All-Purpose Pasta Dough (page 102), rolled for ravioli
- Semolina flour, as needed
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 cups chicken stock (see page 85)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage leaves
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, Parm, parsley, and 2 whole eggs; mix well and season with salt.
- Dust a clean work surface lightly with all-purpose flour and lay out two sheets of pasta about 12 inches long; brush them lightly with water.
- Equally space 4 dollops of the ricotta mixture on each pasta sheet; then use a spoon to make a nest or small hole in the center of each dollop.
- Carefully separate the remaining eggs (reserve the whites for another purpose) and put a yolk in each ricotta nestthe ricotta should lovingly nestle each yolk (if a yolk breaks, scoop it out with a spoon and dont use it).
- Cover the ricotta nests and egg yolk with another sheet of pasta.
- Use your index fingers to press around each ricotta nest to seal the edges, then use a fluted ring cutter or dough roller to cut around each ravioli (they should be 3 to 4 inches in diameter).
- Reserve the ravioli on a tray generously dusted with semolina.
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
- In a large saute pan, melt half the butter and add half of the chicken stock (youre going to use the remainder for your next batch); season with salt and toss in half the sage.
- Bring this to a boil (BTB) and reduce to a simmer (RTS).
- Add 4 of the ravioli to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes.
- Using a spider or slotted spoon, carefully transfer the ravioli from the water to the pan with butter and chicken stock and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- If the sauce reduces too much, add a few drops of the pasta cooking water.
- The sauce should cling to the ravioli in a buttery hug.
- Transfer the ravioli to serving plates, spoon a little extra sauce over each one, and finish with a sprinkey-dink of grated Parm.
- Repeat with the remaining butter, stock, sage, and ravioli.
- Save the leftover egg whites for another purpose.
- You can even freeze them if you like.
