Veal Ravioli is a delectable dish consisting of tender veal meat wrapped in delicate pasta dough, creating delightful pockets of flavorsome goodness when cooked. To craft this dish, gather the following ingredients:
For Filling:
– 1 lb ground veal meat (80% lean)
– 2 oz cream cheese, softened
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 large egg, slightly beaten
– 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
– Salt and pepper to taste
For Pasta Dough:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
– 4 large eggs, room temperature
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions:
1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground veal meat, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the pasta dough.
2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, eggs, salt, and olive oil until the dough forms into a smooth ball. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes or until it becomes elastic and smooth. Form the dough into a round shape, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 30 minutes.
3. Roll out the dough: Cut the dough into four pieces and roll each piece to an 1/8-inch thickness on a well-floured surface using a rolling pin. Use a ravioli cutter or pasta wheel to cut squares measuring about 2 inches wide, spacing them evenly on the rolled dough.
4. Fill the ravioli: Place one teaspoon of filling in each square’s center. Brush water around the edges with your finger or pastry brush. Fold the corners over the filling, gently pressing down to remove any air pockets and create a sealed pouch. Press the edges with a fork tines to secure the ravioli. Repeat this process until all the filling is used up, dusting with flour as needed.
5. Cook the ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and carefully drop 6-8 ravioli at a time into it. Stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface, then allow them to cook for another minute. Remove cooked ravioli with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with your favorite sauce or toss in butter and grated Parmesan cheese.
