Description

A complex recipe from the head chef of a popular American restaurant. The key here is the thickness of the dough; the ravioli should be almost transparent.

Ingredients

Whole egg - 3.4 oz
Egg white - 1.8 oz
Semolina - 1.6 oz
Calibrated Flour - 6.3 oz
Olive Oil - ½ spoons
Ricotta cheese - 21.2 oz
Bittersweet Chocolate - 7.1 oz
Oranges - 2 lbs
Powdered Sugar - 1.4 oz
Mango - 9.9 oz
Pears - 9.9 oz
Pineapple - 9.9 oz
Strawberry - 9.9 oz
Mint - to taste
Salt - ½ g

Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the dough, make a mound of two types of flour, create a well in the center, add the egg whites, yolks, olive oil, and salt, then knead the dough. Cover and refrigerate for an hour. Using a pasta machine, roll it out into a long sheet with a thickness of 0.8 mm.

Step 2

Mix the ricotta, powdered sugar, and crushed dark chocolate (reserve a little for garnish).

Step 3

On one half of the pastry sheet, place the filling (about a tablespoon), and moisten the dough around it with water using a brush. Cover with the other half of the sheet, press the dough around the filling, and gently smooth out the future ravioli, pushing the air outwards. Cut the ravioli using a special stamp, or simply cut squares with a knife.

Step 4

Grate some orange zest using a coarse grater. Squeeze the oranges into a saucepan and reduce the juice over high heat until it reaches a sauce-like consistency—about three to five minutes. Do not reduce it for too long, or the juice will lose its color.

Step 5

Cut the pineapple, pears, and mango into small cubes, and the strawberries into slightly larger pieces. Add them to the reduced juice and cook for a minute, stirring (set aside a few strawberries for garnish).

Step 6

At the same time, boil the ravioli for three minutes, no more. Once cooked, transfer them to a saucepan with the fruits and let them sit for a bit. Plate them up, garnishing with pieces of strawberry, mint, zest, and chocolate.
