How to make Heart-Shaped Ravioli with Ricotta and Speck Filling
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, speck, Parmigiano-Reggiano, fresh parsley, and salt.
Stir together until ingredients are well combined.
Prepare the Dough
Beat eggs into the all-purpose flour. Add water if necessary to achieve a smooth dough, but not too soft.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
Assemble the Ravioli
Roll out the dough into a 5 mm thick circle.
Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out large hearts.
In the center of half of the hearts, place a teaspoon of filling.
Gently brush the edges with some water and cover with the other half. Press down the edges to seal them together. Use a fork to press down more firmly.
Cook the Ravioli
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ravioli for about 5-6 minutes.
Drain and dress them with tomato sauce. Sprinkle the top with fresh parsley and more cheese.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the dough is not too soft to prevent it from tearing during assembly.
Use a fork to press the edges of the ravioli to ensure they are sealed properly.
