For the fresh pasta
For the filling
For seasoning
PREPARATION
First of all, start with the preparation of the fresh pasta: pour some 00 flour in a bowl after sifting it. Then add the slightly beaten eggs and start kneading with a fork. When the eggs are absorbed, continue with your hands and transfer the dough on a work surface. Continue kneading it until you obtain a smooth and elastic dough, which will be covered in cling film. Let it rest for about 30 minutes in a fresh place.v
While the fresh egg pasta is resting, start preparing the filling: clean the artichokes, peel and cut them. Chop finely an onion and let it brown on a low flame for about 15 minutes with four spoons of extra virgin olive oil and a clove of garlic. When the onion is golden, add the artichokes and let them cook. Halfway through the cooking time, add the white wine, add some salt and pepper.
Once cooked, transfer the artichokes in a mixer and blend them coarsely. Subsequently, transfer the obtained cream in a bowl and add the ricotta and the grated Granetta di Capra. Mix everything well.v
At this point, start rolling out the dough until you obtain a sheet of pasta dough enough thin. Cut it in strips of 10 cm wide. Put the filling in the centre and close the sheets of pasta dough on themselves. Now start cutting your ravioli and little by little put them on a floured cloth.
Once you have finished, boil them in abundant salted water; while the ravioli are being cooked, melt some butter in a pan and add the sage leaves.
Meanwhile, prepare the Granetta di Capra fondue, on which you will place your ravioli. In a pan, pour some fresh cream and heat it on a medium flame. Add a part of the grated Granetta di Capra and mix well. Add little by little the rest of the Granetta, mixing well and letting it thickened.
When the ravioli are cooked, drain them and sauté them in the aromatised butter.v
Now, place your ravioli on the previously prepared fondue and pour on them the melted butter with some sage leaves, the pumpkin seeds and a handful of Granetta di Capra.
