Coriander and Pumpkin Ravioli Recipe

Ingredients

  • chopped fresh coriander - 4 tbsp

  • strong unbleached white flour - 200g

  • a pinch of salt

  • eggs - 2

  • sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil - 5, drained and chopped, reserve 3 tbsp oil

  • pumpkin - 500g, peeled and seeds removed

  • garlic - 5 cloves, in their skins

  • ricotta cheese - 120g

  • ground black pepper

Method

  • Process the flour, coriander, eggs, and salt in a blender until they are combined. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.

  • Wrap the dough in a clear film and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

  • Preheat the oven to 200˚C. Put the garlic on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until softened. Steam the pumpkin for 10 minutes until tender, drain well.

  • Peel the garlic cloves and mash into the pumpkin together with the ricotta cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, season with plenty of pepper.

  • Divide the dough in four pieces. Roll out each piece by using a pasta machine, on its thinnest setting. Leave the sheets of pasta on a dish towel until slightly dried.

  • Use a crinkle-edged round cutter to stamp out 40 rounds.

  • Top 20 of the rounds with a teaspoonful of the pumpkin mixture, brush the edges with water and place another round of pasta on top. Press firmly around the edges to seal.

  • Cook the ravioli in a pan of boiling water for 4-5 minutes. Drain well and toss into the reserved tomato oil, add the pepper and serve hot. Makes 20.
