Ingredients
- 2 cups sifted flour
- 6 egg yolks
- Dash of salt
- Dash of fresh ground black pepper
- Dash of nutmeg
- ¼ cup warm water
- 16 oz. ricotta cheese
- ½ cup grated Romano cheese
- Handful of fresh Italian parsley â chopped
- Zest of ½ orange
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- For the Sauce:
- 6 Vine ripe tomatoes â quartered and halved
- 7 cloves of garlic â chopped
- Healthy handful of fresh basil â ripped
- 1 tsp. of capers
- 1 red onion â sliced
- Dashes of fresh ground black pepper
- Dashes of sea salt
- Dashes of red pepper flakes
- Dashes of dried oregano
- Pinch of sugar
- Drizzles of olive oil
Directions
- Sift the flour onto a board or counter top. Make a well in the center and add 3 egg yolks. Add a dash of salt and 3 tablespoons of water. Combine into the flour and continue to knead the dough until a firm dough is formed, adding a little more water as needed to the dough. Cover the dough and let it stand for at least 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough in half and roll out one of the halves as thin as possible.
- In a mixing bowl combine the remaining 3 egg yolks, orange zest, sugar, parsley, nutmeg and Romano cheese. Place a teaspoon of the mixture on the center of the dough; repeat spacing teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
- Roll out the remaining dough and carefully position it as a top layer, brushing the edges lightly with water to seal the layers. Press the 2 layers of dough together around the edge mound of the cheese mixture.
- Cut into squares with a pastry wheel or a sharp knife. Press the edges down with a fork. Drop into boiling salted water. Simmer for about 10 minutes. The ravioli will float to the top. Drain Well!
- For the Sauce:
- Heat a large frying pan with olive oil. Add the onion, tomatoes, basil and capers and sauté. Add the seasonings and a pinch of sugar and continue to simmer until the tomatoes are soft and incorporated.
