KETO RAVIOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• On a stove over medium high heat, saute the spinach until it wilts and reduces in size by half.
• Use scissors or a knife to cut the spinach up into smaller pieces.
• Add in the green onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder and blue cheese.
• Lower the heat to medium low and cook until the cheese has melted. Stir all together.
• Take off heat and let it cool.
• While the filling cools, whisk together the almond flour, whey isolate, psyllium husk and xanthan gum in a mixing bowl.
• Pour in the olive oil, egg and water.
• Stir until it forms a crumbly dough, then start to knead with your hands until all the dough is incorporated.
• It will become sticky, so let the dough sit for 1-2 minutes.
• Split the dough in half.
• Take one section and place it between two pieces of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll it 1/8'' inch thin. If it becomes semi transparent, it will be tougher to work with so make sure it's thick enough to pick up without tearing.
• Cut two even strips of dough.
• Place several small spoonfuls of the filling on to one of the strips.
• Gently lift the other strip and place it top of the other (the one with the filling) and press down around the filling so it forms a bubble of filling.
• Make sure that both strips of dough are pressed together enough so that it won't fall apart in the water..
• Cut around each filling bubble to make a square.
• Continue to make ravioli with the rest of the dough.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil on high heat.
• Drop in your ravioli, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
• Drain.
• Top with your favourite sauce and enjoy!

BEEF RAVIOLI

Steps:

• For the filling: Heat the oil for 1 minute in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring with a spoon to keep the beef from clumping. Then add the oregano, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the filling to a colander and drain the excess oil, then transfer it to a bowl and stir in the ricotta. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the breading: In a food processor, pulse the panko breadcrumbs to half of their original size; this will allow them to bread the ravioli evenly. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix them well with the Parmesan, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• For the dough: Slowly sift the all-purpose flour, semolina and 1 teaspoon of the salt into a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Form the sifted flour into a mound on a counter and pour half the egg mixture into the center of the mound. Start forming a dough with two fingers while supporting the mound of flour with the other hand, then add the remainder of the egg mixture once the original amount is absorbed. Continue kneading the dough by hand until all the liquid has been absorbed, 5 to 6 minutes, dusting the work surface with flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking. Once the dough is mixed well, roll it into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• To assemble and fry: Split the rested dough into 2 balls and roll out each ball on a floured work surface to the thickness of a dime (or run them through a pasta machine three times on thickness settings of 8, 5 and finally 2). Score one of the sheets of rolled dough with a ravioli pin and fill each scored pocket with 1 teaspoon of the filling. Brush the edges of the dough with egg wash, lay the second sheet of rolled pasta on top and then press and seal the individual ravioli with your fingers, ensuring that no air is trapped inside. Cut and portion out the individual pieces.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees F. Dredge the ravioli in the flour, followed by the egg wash, and finally the breading. Working in batches, fry the ravioli for 3 minutes, flipping them once during the process. Drain on paper towels, then serve with marinara sauce.

SPINACH AND RICOTTA RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt on a flat work surface; shape into a mound and make a well in the center. Add the eggs and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the well and lightly beat with a fork. Gradually draw in the flour from the inside wall of the well in a circular motion. Continue to incorporate all the flour until it forms a ball. Wrap the ball in plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.
• While the pasta is resting, prepare the filling. Steam the spinach and drain well, pressing the spinach to remove all excess liquid. Chop finely. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Add shallots and cook for about a minute, stirring so that they do not brown. Add the shallots to the spinach, along with the ricotta, Parmesan cheese and egg. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper as needed.
• Cut the ball of dough in 1/2, cover and reserve the piece you are not immediately using to prevent it from drying out. Dust the counter and dough with a little flour. Press the dough into a rectangle and roll it through a pasta machine, 2 or 3 times, at widest setting. Pull and stretch the sheet of dough with the palm of your hand as it emerges from the rollers. Reduce the setting and crank the dough through again, 2 or 3 times. Continue tightening until the machine is at the second narrowest setting; the dough should be almost paper-thin.
• Dust the counter and sheet of dough with flour, lay out the long sheet of pasta, and brush the top surface with a little water, which acts as a glue. Drop 1 tablespoon of the filling on 1/2 of the pasta sheet, about 2-inches apart. Fold the other 1/2 over the filling like a blanket. With your fingers, gently press out air pockets around each mound of filling. Use a sharp knife to cut each pillow into squares and crimp the 4 edges with the tins of a fork to make a tight seal. A fluted pastry wheel also works well to make an attractive edge around the pasta. Dust the ravioli and a sheet pan with cornmeal to prevent the pasta from sticking and lay them out to dry slightly while assembling the rest. If not using within an hour or two refrigerate until needed.
• To prepare the sauce, heat the two tablespoons of oil in a heavy pot and cook the garlic for just a minute. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes and cook over medium low heat for 10 minutes. Add the chopped basil, and mix well. Cook over low heat an additional 10 minutes. Keep warm while you cook the pasta.
• Cook the ravioli in plenty of boiling salted water until tender. They will float to the top when ready, so be careful not to overcrowd the pot. Drain the ravioli and return to the pot. Pour half of the sauce mixture into the pot and carefully stir until the ravioli is lightly coated. Serve the ravioli with a spoonful of additional sauce and a sprinkling of grated cheese. Serve hot.

SOCKAROONI RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Season a large pot of water with 2 to 3 tablespoons salt and begin to bring to boil.
• In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and add the onions and garlic. Cook until soft. Add the Italian sausage and brown. While browning break the sausage into uniform pieces. When done drain the meat and add the Sockarooni sauce. Simmer the sauce and begin the raviolis.
• Begin by squeezing the water out of the spinach. In a bowl, mix the spinach, ricotta, egg, and parmesan cheese.
• Cut the egg roll wrappers in half and in half again so you have 4 equal squares.
• Working in batches of four, place a rounded teaspoon of ricotta mixture on each wrapper. Using your finger or a small pastry brush, wet all four sides of the wrapper with water. Place another wrapper on top and seal the edges. Try to press out any air pockets.
• Place the ravioli on a cookie sheet and cover with a slightly damp towel. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers. Place 6 to 8 ravioli in the boiling water and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water and place in a serving dish. Cook remaining raviolis. Top with Sockarooni sauce and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese.
