Ravioli verdi con ricotta e mortadella / Ricette primi piatti sfiziosi

mortadella

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon offers a leaner option while maintaining a similar flavor profile.

ricotta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Cottage cheese reduces calories while providing a similar texture.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is a vegan alternative that adds a cheesy flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Start by preparing the filling in a small mixer, adding mortadella with pistachios.

Add ricotta cheese, a tablespoon of chopped hazelnuts, a pinch of white pepper, and a bit of salt, then blend everything together.

Transfer the filling to a bowl and add the zest of one lime for freshness.

To make the pasta, use chlorophyll as a coloring agent. Start with three eggs: two yolks and one whole egg, adding a pinch of salt.

For the colored pasta, use 200 g of white flour (00 flour) and mix it with a tablespoon of oil and a teaspoon of chlorophyll, dissolving it slowly in the oil.

Knead the mixture, adding a tablespoon of water if the dough is too stiff.

Let the pasta rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.

Roll out the pasta, which should be a bit thicker due to the soft filling.

Cut the pasta into circles, wet the edges, and place the filling in the center, testing the amount of filling by making one raviolo first.

Seal the raviolo, ensuring no air is trapped inside, and continue forming the rest.

While the water is boiling, prepare the sauce by heating olive oil with a small clove of garlic and adding sprigs of thyme and whole mint leaves to infuse the oil.

Once the water is boiling, add salt and a splash of oil before gently placing the ravioli in the pot.

Remove the garlic, thyme, and mint from the oil and lower the heat.

Drain the ravioli and toss them in the infused oil.

Plate the ravioli, adding grated parmesan on top and garnishing with a mint leaf.
