Step 1
Take the
All-Purpose Flour (310 g)
and make a large well on a clean surface with it.
Step 2
Crack the
Eggs (3)
into the well along with the
Salt (1 pinch)
. Start breaking up with eggs with a fork while you slowly stir the flour into them (without breaking the well so that the egg doesn't run everywhere).
Step 3
Once a dough begins to form, bring it all together with your hands into a ball. Knead the ball of dough for 3 to 4 minutes until it is uniform, soft and pliable.
Step 4
Wrap the ball of dough in plastic and let it rest from all of that kneading for 30 minutes to an hour. This is going to allow the gluten to relax in the flour and make the dough really tender.
Step 5
While the dough rests, heat the
Olive Oil (1 dash)
in a pan over medium high heat.
Step 6
Add the
Pancetta (135 g)
and cook it until it is cooked through and starts to get crispy, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Add the
Frozen Green Peas (35 g)
in with the pancetta and let them heat through the pancetta fat for another 2 minutes.
Step 8
Take the pan off of the heat and stir in the
Garlic (3 g)
to just let it get fragrant. Let the mixture cool and set it aside.
Step 9
While the mixture in the pan cools, put together the rest of the filling. Combine the
Ricotta Cheese (360 g)
,
Parmesan Cheese (20 g)
,
Asiago Cheese (30 g)
,
Hickory Smoked Sea Salt (3 g)
,
Dried Basil (as needed)
,
Smoked Paprika (as needed)
, and
Eggs (2)
in a mixing bowl. Stir it all together completely.
Step 10
Fold the cooled pancetta and pea mixture into the rest of the filling, including the rendered out fat for extra flavor. Cover the filling and refrigerate it until you are ready to form the ravioli.
Step 11
When the dough is rested, it's time to roll it out. Cut the ball of dough in half, and cover the half of dough you are not working with in a tea towel or plastic wrap while you roll out the other one.
Step 12
On a clean, floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out enough so that it is thin enough to put through a pasta roller.
Step 13
Put that piece of dough through the roller once on the thickest setting. Fold it into thirds and flatten it out again with the rolling pin.
Step 14
Then put it through once again on the thickest setting. Then it goes through on the setting two notches thinner twice. By that time, the piece will be so long that you need to cut it in half.
Step 15
Put each of those halves through on the setting two notches thinner than the last one. On my Kitchen Aid roller attachment, there are numbers so I use notch 1 as the thickest, then go to notch 3 and then notch 5 as the thinnest.
Step 16
Lay the those two pieces out gently on a floured half sheet pan and cover them with tea towels. Repeat this with the other half of dough. You will end up with four rolled out pieces of pasta dough.
Step 17
Take the first sheet of rolled out dough and lay it on a floured surface. Get the pancetta and pea ravioli filling out of the refrigerator. Place tablespoons of the filling two inches apart along the length of the half of dough closest to you.
Step 18
Brush the edge of dough closest to you with water, then bring the other half over to seal in the filling.
Step 19
Press firmly around each scoop of filling to get out any air and really seal the pancetta and pea ravioli.
Step 20
Take a fluted pastry cutter and trim the two outer ends, then trim the bottom edge closest to you. Make a cut between each scoop of filling to cut out the pancetta and pea ravioli. If you have a round or square ravioli stamp, that would be totally great here too!
Step 21
Repeat this with the other 3 sheets of dough and remainder of the filling. Get all of the ravioli back onto the floured half sheet pan and cover them.
Step 22
Get a large pot of water on the stove and let it come to a boil.
Step 23
Now to make the beurre blanc sauce. In a large rondeau pan combine the
White Wine (120 mL)
,
Apple Cider Vinegar (60 mL)
,
Shallot (1)
,
Salt (1 pinch)
, and
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 pinch)
. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium high heat.
Step 24
Reduce it to a simmer, letting the liquid reduce by half. It takes about 3-4 minutes for that to happen.
Step 25
Then add in the half of the
Butter (240 g)
and whisk it in until melted. Repeat with the second stick of butter.
Step 26
Whisk in the remaining
Asiago Cheese (60 g)
. Reduce the heat more to the lowest setting to keep the sauce warm.
Step 27
The water should be boiling by this point, salt it until it tastes like the sea. Get the pancetta and pea ravioli into the water and cook them until al dente. It doesn't take any time at all, only 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 28
With a slotted spoon, transfer them into the pan of beurre blanc sauce and toss the ravioli thoroughly with the sauce.
Step 29
Plate them up, garnish with
Fresh Parsley (to taste)
and serve immediately!
