Recipe Card

Ricotta Ravioli:

ingredients

  • 2 cups '00' (caputo) or all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano reggiano

Roasted Garlic Sauce:

ingredients

  • 5 ounces diced pancetta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons Tuttorosso Tomato Paste with Roasted Garlic
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano reggiano
  • Reserved pasta water, as needed

Prepare the Dough:

Method

  • Step 1

    On a clean, flat surface, create a well with the flour.

  • Step 2

    Add eggs and salt into the well, gently scrambling within. Gradually pull in flour until the eggs form a batter.

  • Step 3

    Incorporate the remaining flour, kneading gradually until the dough is no longer sticky

  • Step 4

    Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

  • Step 5

    Form the dough into a round ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Prepare the Filling:

  • Step 1

    Mix ricotta and parmigiano reggiano until fully combined.

  • Step 2

    Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small hole cut in one corner.

Roll and Fill the Ravioli:

  • Step 1

    Divide the rested dough into quarters.

  • Step 2

    Roll out each quarter until ⅛ inch thick (level 6 on a pasta machine), flouring both sides.

  • Step 3

    Add dollops of ricotta mixture evenly across the center of the pasta sheet.

  • Step 4

    Fold one side of the sheet over the ricotta, lengthwise.

  • Step 5

    Press gently between each dollop to remove excess air.

  • Step 6

    Cut out 2.5-inch x 2.5-inch squares using a pasta cutter.

  • Step 7

    Freeze the ravioli on a sheet pan or cutting board.

Cook Ravioli:

  • Step 1

    Cook ravioli in boiling salted water until al dente, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Drain and set aside while making the sauce.

Prepare the Sauce:

  • Step 1

    Cook pancetta until crispy, 5-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and transfer to a paper towel.

  • Step 2

    Mix the butter into pancetta drippings.

  • Step 3

    Add Tuttorosso Tomato Paste with Roasted Garlic, whisking into the butter mixture until fully combined. Simmer for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Step 4

    Whisk in 1/2 cup cream, then add the remaining 1/2 cup, simmering for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

  • Step 5

    Add peas and let the sauce simmer for an additional minute.

  • Step 6

    Add cooked ravioli to the sauce, coating them evenly. Use reserved pasta water if additional sauce is needed to fully submerge the ravioli.

  • Step 7

    Mix in half of the parmigiano reggiano and half of the crispy pancetta.

  • Step 8

    Let simmer for another minute.

  • Step 9

    Top with the remaining pancetta and parmigiano reggiano before serving.
