200

20
g

Pinch

10
stalks
fresh thyme, leaves picked
for the ricotta ravioli
Flour and semolina for dusting
Salt for your water
Sauce of your choice
(I made a burnt butter and sage sauce)
Method
for the pasta dough
Place 100g pasta flour into a mixing bowl
Add a pinch of salt and mix to combine
Add the egg and mix to form a dough
Turn out onto a lightly dusted surface and knead for 5 minutes
Wrap in cling film and place into the fridge to rest
Place the rest of your pasta flour into the mixing bowl
Add a pinch of salt and mix to combine
Add the egg yolk and tomato paste and mix to form a dough
Turn out onto a lightly dusted surface and knead for 5 minutes
Wrap in cling film and place into the fridge to rest for 30 minutes
Remove both lots of dough from the fridge
Lightly dust with flour and laminate both using the widest setting on your pasta machine
Dust your surface with semolina
Place the white pasta down on the semolina and cut in half
Cut the red pasta into 4 equal lengths
Place two lengths of the red pasta on one length of the white pasta
Repeat with the other pieces
Lightly roll a rolling pin to 'stick' the red pasta to the white pasta
Laminate once more on the widest setting
Continue to roll out your pasta until you reach setting number 5
for the ricotta filling
Place the ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir to combine
for the ricotta ravioli
Place one length of pasta onto a surface lightly dusted with flour
Using a teaspoon, spoon the ricotta filling onto the pasta, leaving enough space in between for cutting
Brush water around the edges and in the spaces
Place a second length of pasta over the first and press down to seal
You need to ensure that no air is trapped in the ravioli
Cut into the shape of your choice
Place onto a baking tray dusted with semolina
Bring a large pot of water to the boil
Salt generously
Add the ravioli and boil until the pop up to the surface - about 3 minutes
Remove with a slotted spoon and add to your sauce
Mix gently to coat the ravioli
Serve immediately
