Ravioli with Artichoke and Walnut Filling
Ingredients
Ravioli dough
- 400 g Semolina (made from durum wheat)
- 180 ml warm water
Filling
- 180 g artichokes marinated in oil
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 tbsp. rosemary chopped
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- Salt and pepper
Directions
For the dough
-
Add semolina to a clean surface and make a well in the middle
-
Add water little by little and mix it with the semolina
-
Set a timer for 10 minutes and start kneading the dough with your hands
-
After 10 minutes the dough should be smooth and elastic
-
Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes
Filling
-
While the dough is resting, prepare your filling by adding some oil to a small pan over medium heat
-
Add your onion and cook it for about 2-3 minutes or until translucent
-
Tranfer cooked onion to a big bowl
-
Add 180g artichokes, walnuts and rosemary to a food processor along with 1/2 cup water
-
Blend until everything is smooth and add the mixture to the cooked onion
-
In a small bowl, mix together 1 tsp. cornstarch and 2 tbsp. water and add that to the filling as well
-
Mix well and season with salt and pepper
Ravioli
-
Take your dough out of the plastic wrap and cut it into 4-5 same sieced pieces
-
Take one piece and cover the over ones with the plastic wrap
-
Using a pasta machine, roll out the piece of dough to the second-to-last setting on your pasta machine (you don't want the dough to be too thin)
-
Then lay the dough out on a large, flat surface lightly dusted with flour and cut it in half so that you have two pieces of dough in front of you
-
Add 5-6 scoops (or however much you like) of 1 tsp. filling to the lower half of one sheet
-
Brush the space between the fillings with some water and fold the sheet over
-
Gently press down the space around your filling and cut the ravioli into squares with a pastry wheel (or cut the dough with a knife and seal the ravioli with a small fork). Repeat the filling with the other sheet of dough
-
Repeat everything with the over pieces of dough
-
Bring a big pot of water to a boil and add some salt
-
Add ravioli and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer
-
Cook ravioli for 1-2 minutes or until they float to the top and are tender
-
Serve with a tomato sauce or melted vegan butter with rosemary and walnuts
-
Enjoy!
