Potato and leek ravioli (Pasta Fresca)
- 400 grams 00 flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 potatoes
- 1 small leek
- 70 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 eggs
- 1 salt
- 1 ground black pepper
- 1 tsp butter
- Let's begin with the pasta recipe: Sift the flour into a large bowl, then arrange it to form something similar to a volcano
- Break the eggs (4) in the middle of it and whisk them together with salt and olive oil using a fork
- Slowly fold the eggs into the flour, using your hands
- Keep kneading the dough (vigorous movements using your palms!)
- for at least 10 minutes
- Form dough into a ball, cover with a rag and let it rest for 30 minutes
- Now, the filling: Cut leek into slices and sear it in a pan with butter
- Stew potatoes, peel and mash them
- Add parmesan, eggs (2), leek, salt and pepper to the mashed potatoes: stir until homogenous
- Let the filling rest for 60 minutes in the fridge
- Let's begin making ravioli!
- Cover in flour a flat surface and roll out the dough to form a very thin rectangle (2mm or 1/12"), you can use a pasta machine if you have it
- Along the longer side of the rectangle, on the upper part of it, put a teaspoon of filling every 4cm or 2"
- Cover the filling with the lower part of pasta of the same rectangle, press on the edges to bind the two layers of pasta
- Cut ravioli with a ravioli stamp or a cog
- Put the ravioli you cut on a tray covered in flour so they not stick together
- They are now ready to be boiled (just few minutes) and mixed with your favorite sauce!
- You can also freeze them to use it whenever you want!
