- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
- 6 ounces, weight Goat Cheese Crumbled
- 1/4 cups Freshly Grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cups Freshly Grated Asiago
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 sprig Rosemary, Leaves Removed And Finely Chopped
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 dash Olive Oil

- 1.
- First, prepare the pasta dough.
- Form the flour into a big well and crack the eggs right into it along with the salt.
- Using a fork, break up the eggs while slowly incorporating the flour until a soft dough starts to form.
- Bring it together with your hands into a firm ball and knead it for about 2 minutes to get it fully incorporated.
- Wrap the ball of dough in plastic and set it aside to rest for an hour.
- 2.
- While the dough rests, prepare the luscious 4 cheese filling.
- In a bowl mix together all of the filling ingredients until it is uniform and creamy.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate it until you are ready to form the ravioli.
- 3.
- When the dough has finished resting, turn it out onto a well floured surface and cut it in half.
- Take the first half and roll it out to be thin enough to go through a pasta roller.
- Put the half of dough through the roller once on the widest setting, then fold it into thirds.
- Keep rolling out the half of dough through the pasta roller on progressively thinner settings until it is thin enough to almost see your hand through it.
- On a stand mixer roller attachment, the procedure would be to put it through once more on setting 1 after folding it, then twice on 3, then once on 5 to get it perfectly rolled out.
- It will be too long to handle, so cut the sheet of dough in half.
- Repeat the process with the other half of dough to end up with 4 total sheets of pasta.
- Grab the filling from the refrigerator.
- 4.
- Take the first sheet of dough and lay it out on a lightly floured work surface.
- Evenly space tablespoons of the filling on the half closest to you down the length of the sheet.
- There should be room for 6.
- Dampen a small kitchen brush and brush the edge of pasta closest to you, then bring the other half of dough over to enclose the dollops of filling.
- Firmly press the edges together and also press around each dollop of filling to seal the ravioli.
- Take a fluted pastry cutter and cut in between each dollop of filling to cut out the ravioli and trim away any excess.
- Transfer the ravioli to a lightly floured board and repeat the process with the other 3 sheets of dough.
- Set the ravioli aside.
- 5.
- Get a large pot of water on the stove to boil and salt it generously.
- Then get a large rondeau pan and put together the mushroom marinara sauce.
- Heat the olive oil in the rondeau pan over medium high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and season them with a pinch of salt.
- Let them soften and brown slightly for about 3-4 minutes, then pour in the marinara sauce.
- Allow the mixture to gently simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
- 6.
- The water should be boiling by this point.
- Gently tip the ravioli in and let them cook for not even a minute.
- Reserve a quarter cup of the pasta cooking water and pour it into the pan of sauce.
- Drain the ravioli then pour it right into the pan of sauce as well and turn off the heat.
- Gently toss the ravioli with the sauce.
- 7.
- Plate 6 ravioli on each plate with a generous amount of the mushroom marinara, then top it all off with the chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
