Ingredients

Dough:

• 1 lb. all purpose flour
• 5 Large eggs
• ½ tsp turmeric

Stuffing:

• 8 oz burrata
• 1 tbs. butter
• 1 tbs. olive oil
• 1 tbs. sliced garlic
• 8 oz porcini mushrooms (or other if unavailable)
• 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Sauce:

• 1 tbs. butter
• 1 tbs. truffle butter
• 6 sage leaves
• 1 garlic clove crushed
• 1 cup heavy cream

TOOLS TO USE

 

Directions

For Dough:

1. Put eggs with flour and turmeric in mixer with dough hook attachment.
2. Mix until dough begins to form.
3. Kneed until elastic with a smooth texture.
4. Let rest for 15-20 minutes.

For Stuffing:

1. Roast garlic with butter and EVOO in a sauté pan over medium fire.

4. Add burrata and parmesan cheese.
5. Check flavor and add salt and pepper if needed.
6. Put stuffing in a pastry bag.

For Ravioli:

1. Flatten pieces of dough with a rolling pin till it’s as thin as the thickest setting on your pasta roller attachment, then roll through pasta machine (keep pasta dusted with flour to prevent it from sticking to rollers) until you have a sheet about 1/32 of an inch thin (roll pasta twice through each setting, usually #6 of kitchenaid pasta attachment is ideal for stuffed pasta).
2. Cut pasta sheets into manageable length, deposit about a tsp of stuffing on pasta about 2” apart.
3. With a pastry brush, wet the edges and in between each stuffing mound as if you were painting a grid.
4. Cover with a slightly larger pasta sheet aligning the edges, then seal pasta around porcini mix using a cupped towel.
5. Use a pastry cutter with fluted or straight wheel to cut in between ravioli, then pick up each raviolo and seal around the edges with your fingers.
6. Have boiling salted water standing by and drop ravioli in.
7. When they resurface, drain and put in sauce.

For Sauce:

1. Roast crushed garlic clove and sage in butter, when light brown add cream and season.
