St. Valentine’s Rose-shaped Ravioli: Method
- Arrange the flour in a mound, make a well in the centre and add the egg and Tomato Paste. Beat with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges. When the dough starts to come together, knead it for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with an upturned bowl and leave to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: place the ricotta cheese, cooked ham, parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, with a mousse-like consistency. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and keep refrigerated.
- Prepare the cream by blending the peas, previously boiled in salted water, with the robiola cheese. Add a little of the pea cooking water, just enough to obtain a smooth and velvety sauce.
- Take the pasta dough and roll it out into thin strips. Cut out small discs. Arrange 5 discs in a row. Using the piping bag, place the filling in the centre of each disc. Lightly moisten the upper edges of the discs with a little water and fold all 5 into a half-moon shape. Roll up to form a rose.
- Cook the pasta roses in plenty of salted water for a few minutes, then gently lift them out.
- Toss the pasta roses in a pan with the melted butter.
- Assemble the dish by spreading the warm pea cream on the base of the plate, add the pasta roses, dress with the butter and serve with a sprinkling of parmesan and a few fresh herb leaves.
