*Ravioli ripieni di ricotta e limone con salsa di burro e menta (Ravioli filled with ricotta and lemon, served with butter and mint)

from Passione: Simple, Seductive Recipes for Lovers of Italian Food (page 37) by Gennaro Contaldo

So simple, but so full of flavour.

Pasta Dough (enough for 3): 125g 00 flour, 125g Durum wheat flour, 2 organic eggs, and 25g of water. I hear wine can also be used, but I was drinking it.

Filling: Ricotta Cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice and Parmesan. (Found the Marcato ravioli attachment at Vinnie’s!)

Sauce: Butter, mint leaves, lemon juice, Parmesan

Garnish: Mint leaves and lemon zest.

Note: the quantities for the filling and sauce are for 4, but the 2 of us easily eat the lot! (it was that good).

    It was sensational. The pasta was fresh and perfect, filling zesty and garnish a beautiful mint/lemon surprise.
