Simple and delicious! Whipped Ricotta Raviolini in a Lemon Butter Sauce topped with fresh basil and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup '00' flour

• 1/2 cup semolina flour

• 2 eggs, 3 yolks

• 1 cup whole milk ricotta

• 1/2 cup Parmigiano, finely grated

• 1/4 tsp. salt

• Zest of 1 lemon

• 4 tbsp. butter

• Juice of 1 lemon

• Basil for garnish

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 to a blender and blend until glossy and smooth. Add to a mixing bowl and fold in the Parmigiano, salt and lemon zest. 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. (setting 7 on the Marcato Atlas pasta machine or KitchenAid pasta roller attachment).

4. Use a ravioletti mold to shape the ravioletti. If you don't have a mold, place small dollops of the filling onto a pasta sheet. Place another pasta sheet over top and seal on all sides. Use a brass cutter to cut the ravioletti.

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

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

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

8. Plate and top with Parmigiano and basil.
