Cheese-Filled Ravioli

Method

• step 1

  To make the pasta, sift the flour and a pinch of salt onto a work surface and make a dip in the middle. Add the eggs and mix into a smooth dough.

• step 2

  Shape the dough into a smooth ball, wrap in a damp cloth or tea-towel and leave for thirty minutes.

• step 3

  Meanwhile, make the filling by putting the ricotta and Bel Paese in a bowl and beat well. Add the rest of the ingredients with another pinch of salt and beat thoroughly.

• step 4

  Roll out the dough until it is paper thin. Cut into 4cm squares with a zigzag edge cutter. Put a little filling in the middle of each square then fold over the corner to make a triangle. Squidge together the corners so the filling doesn't come out and boil in the stock for five minutes.

• step 5

  Add a sauce to your liking and serve with a basil leaf on top. Voila! :-)
