  • 250 g soft ricotta
  • 1 big egg
  • 100 g freshly grated parmesan
  • 1 collar Sage
  • 1 Organic Lemon
  • 7-10 Tbsp salt and lemon pepper
  • 5-6 Branches of fresh sage
  • 3 TABLESPOONS Butter
  • 3 TABLESPOONS Oil
  • 1 decent piece of parmesan

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the pasta dough: Mix flour, eggs, oil and salt in a bowl so that the ingredients slowly become one. Then pour everything onto the worktop and work into a smooth dough.

  2. 2

    Knead until the dough is smooth and shiny. No more dough should stick to your fingers. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    In the meantime, prepare the filling: Put the ricotta, egg and cheese in a bowl. Finely grate the lemon zest and add it to the bowl with chopped sage. Mix everything well and season with salt and lemon pepper.

  4. 4

    Roll out the noodle dough with the noodle machine: Cut the dough in quarters and cover 3 portions with a tea towel so it doesn't dry out. Flatten 1 portion with the dough roller, making rectangles of et

  5. 5

    Lightly dust the dough and rolls with flour.

  6. 6

    Set the roller distance to the largest setting and crank the dough 2-3 times. Fold the dough to a third, turn it by 90° and crank it again. Repeat 8 to 10 times until the pasta dough is smooth and supple and has a velvety appearance.

  7. 7

    Tighten the rollers by one step and crank the dough through. Repeat this procedure, reducing the distance between the rollers by one step at a time, until the dough has the desired thickness.

  8. 8

    Fill the dough: At regular intervals, place one teaspoon of filling on each dough. Place a second sheet of dough on top of the first and press the dough firmly into the gaps. Cut out the ravioli with a pastry wheel.

  9. 9

    The filled ravioli can now be cooked directly or left to rest for a few more hours.

  10. 10

    Cook the ravioli in portions in a large pot of boiling salted water. After 3-4 minutes, remove carefully with a ladle. In the meantime, prepare the sage butter. Heat the butter and oil in a pan and sauté the sage leaves in it.

  11. 11

    Arrange the ravioli on plates and sprinkle with sage butter. Serve with lots of coarsely grated Parmesan cheese.
