Instructions
- 1 To make the pear and pecorino ravioli, start by mixing the flour and eggs together, adding a pinch of salt and a drizzle of oil. Once the dough is smooth, shape it into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
- 2 Meanwhile, prepare the ravioli filling. Wash the pears, peel them, and dice them very finely. Gently sauté the finely chopped shallot in a pan. When almost cooked, add the pears and cook for another two minutes. Season with salt and pepper and let cool. Transfer the pear mixture to a bowl, then stir in the ricotta and pecorino romano, reserving a handful for the dressing.
- 3 Then, take the dough and roll it out, then use a pastry cutter to cut out circles and fill them with the filling, using a teaspoon. Then fold them into a half-moon shape and secure the edges.
- 4 Boil the ravioli in a pot of boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes.
- 5 Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan and then sauté the drained ravioli together.
- 6 Plate and serve with a generous sprinkling of pecorino romano and, if desired, some chopped walnuts. The dish is ready!
