Prep time: 30 | Cook time: 15 | Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups (185g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (50g) ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated fontina cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions
  1. To make the dough, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Use a fork to gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.
  2. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. To make the filling, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, fontina cheese, and mozzarella cheese in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a thin sheet, about 1/16-inch thick.
  5. Spread half of the filling onto one sheet of dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Top with the remaining sheet of dough.
  6. Use a pastry cutter or fork to seal the edges of the ravioli. Cut the ravioli into squares or desired shapes.
  7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top.
  8. Remove the ravioli from the pot and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
Why It Works
  • The dough is made with a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. This gives the dough a nice balance of strength and elasticity, making it easy to work with and roll out.
  • The filling is made with a combination of four cheeses: ricotta, Parmesan, fontina, and mozzarella. This combination of cheeses creates a rich and flavorful filling that's sure to please everyone at the table.
  • The ravioli are cooked in boiling water until they're al dente. This means that they're cooked through but still have a slight bite to them. This gives the ravioli a nice texture and prevents them from becoming mushy.
