Difficulty Level: Moderate

Total Time: 2 hours

Serving Size: 2-4 servings

---

These homemade whipped Pecorino raviolini are filled with smooth ricotta and finely grated Pecorino Romano, then tossed in a bright lemon butter sauce. Finished with a sprinkle of tangy sumac, this delicate handmade pasta balances creamy cheese, rich butter, and fresh citrus for a simple yet elegant Italian-inspired dish.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup '00' flour

• 1/2 cup semolina flour

• 2 whole eggs

• 3 egg yolks

• 1 cup whole milk ricotta

• 1/4 tsp. salt

• 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano, finely grated

• 4 tbsp. unsalted butter

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1 tbsp. sumac

  
  

Directions:

1. Mix the flours and form a well. Add the eggs and yolks, whisking with a fork while gradually incorporating the flour. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth, then wrap in plastic and rest 30 minutes.

2. For the filling, add the ricotta and salt to a blender and blend until glossy and smooth. Add the Pecorino Romano and blend again. Add the filling to a piping bag and set aside.

3. After the dough has rested, divide into four even pieces and roll out into long, thin sheets. (7 on the Marcato Atlas pasta machine or KitchenAid pasta roller attachment).

4. Place small dollops of the filling along the long edge of the pasta sheet. Fold the pasta dough over and seal on all sides, then shape the raviolini.

5. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

6. Once the water comes to a boil, add plenty of salt. Cook the raviolini until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.

7. Strain the raviolini and add to a sauté pan along with the butter, lemon juice and 1/4 cup pasta water. Toss over low heat. Add more pasta water as needed.

8. Plate and top with sumac.
