SUMMER RAVIOLI RECIPE


This Simple and delicous.

Serves: 4 - approximately 28 pieces

Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour - more for dusting
1 cup boiling water

Filling:
3/4 cup ricotta
1 egg
1/2 cup finely shredded chicken breast
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Sauce:
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Dough:  In a large bowl combine the flour and
water.  Use a wooden spoon to stir into a large
ball.  Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm
place for 10-15 minutes.

Filling:  Combine all filling ingredients in a
medium bowl and stir to mix.

Sauce:  In serving bowl, combine all ingredients
and stir with a fork to combine.

Make ravioli:  Cut dough into 4 even pieces.  
Dough needs to be slightly sticky. Use extra flour
for rolling without sticking to board or rolling pin -
but as little as possible.  Roll each piece into a 8"
x 16" rectangle.  Only work with 1 piece of dough
at a time and keep unused dough covered with
plastic wrap when not in use to prevent drying.

Place rounded teaspoons of filling about 1" apart
down the center of the dough.  Fold dough over
filling and press down around edges of each
ravioli with fingers.  Cut ravioli into shape with
either a knife (make them square) or round
cookie/scone cutter.  Put formed ravioli on a
baking tray and cover with plastic wrap as you
continue to make the remainder.

Boil a large pot of salted water.  Add half the ravioli
and cook until ravioli floats to top of pot - about 4
minutes.  Use slotted spoon to drain ravioli and
place in a large bowl while cooking remaining
pieces.  Place clean kitchen towel over top of bowl
to keep cooked ravioli warm.

When all ravioli is cooked, place in serving bowl
with sauce and toss gently.

Serve with a green salad and enjoy!
