  • 1 egg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
Pasta dough
  • 330 g semolina flour Semola di Grano Duro
  • 210 g egg 3 egg yolks + remaining weight in whole eggs, room temperature
Extras
  • 30 g butter
  • 30 g salt for the cooking water

Equipment

  • Small rolling pin
  • Large saucepan
  • Large frying pan
  • Slotted spoon
  • Baking tray with parchment paper

Method
 

Filling
  1. Mix ricotta, egg, mortadella, Parmesan and shredded chicken thoroughly in a medium bowl. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Dough
  1. Pour the semolina onto a large work surface and form a well. Add the eggs and knead for approx. 10 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Wrap tightly in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Divide the dough into approx. 8 pieces. Work with one piece at a time; keep the rest wrapped. Pass the piece through the pasta machine on the widest setting, then fold into thirds. Repeat 3 times.
  3. Gradually reduce the setting and pass the dough through each stage until a long, thin sheet forms.
  4. Lightly flour the work surface. Lay one pasta sheet flat, distribute spoonfuls of filling at even intervals. Place a second sheet on top. Press out any air around the filling, roll firmly with a small rolling pin, then cut out the ravioli. Place on a floured baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil and salt generously. Melt 30 g butter in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the ravioli for approx. 1–2 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain briefly, and toss in the butter. Serve immediately on warmed plates, sprinkled with Parmesan.

Notes

Notes / Tips / Storage:
Tip: Only work with one piece of dough at a time — keep the rest wrapped to prevent drying out.
Variations: Replace chicken with pork, Parma ham or cooked spinach. For a lighter version, try lemon zest and a few drops of lemon juice.
Freezing: Freeze uncooked ravioli on a floured tray first, then transfer to freezer bags. Cook directly from frozen — no thawing needed, simply add 1–2 minutes to the cooking time.
