Ingredients
For the pasta:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the filling:
- 1 cup fresh goat cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (e.g., basil, parsley)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Make the pasta: On a clean surface, make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center. Add the eggs, salt, and olive oil into the well. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Roll out the dough: Divide the pasta dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece out into thin sheets, using a pasta machine or a rolling pin. Aim for about 1/16-inch thickness.
- Shape the ravioli: Place a teaspoon of filling about 2 inches apart on one sheet of pasta. Moisten the edges with water, then place another sheet of pasta on top. Press down to seal and cut into squares.
- Cook the ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli (in batches) and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- Make the sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sage leaves and sauté until fragrant. Add the cooked ravioli and toss gently to coat.
- Serve: Plate the ravioli and sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked pepper. Enjoy your homemade Goat Cheese Ravioli!
