Introduction
Brace yourself for a culinary adventure as we delve into the world of homemade gluten-free ravioli! In this delightful tutorial, we will unveil the secrets of Nonna's artistry and show you how to create these delectable pockets of joy in your own kitchen.
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
- Filling of your choice (e.g. ricotta and spinach, mushroom and cheese, or butternut squash)
- Your favorite pasta sauce
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Gradually mix in the water until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, then let it rest for 30 minutes.
-
Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each portion into thin sheets using a pasta roller or rolling pin. The sheets should be thin but not transparent.
-
Fill and Shape the Ravioli: Place small mounds of your chosen filling on one sheet of dough, leaving space between each mound. Brush water around the edges of the filling, then place another sheet of dough on top. Press around the filling to seal, then cut out the ravioli using a pastry cutter.
-
Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop in the ravioli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Plate your gluten-free ravioli and top with your favorite pasta sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Bon appétit!
