Instructions
-
Prepare the dough:
On a clean surface, create a well with the all-purpose and chestnut flours (1 ⅔ cups (200 g) + ⅓ cup (50 g)). Crack the eggs into the center and begin incorporating the flour with a fork. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes. -
Make the filling:
Cook the sausage in a pan over medium heat until browned. Let it cool slightly, then mix with ricotta (⅓ cup / 75 g), grated Parmigiano (2 tbsp / 15 g), salt, and pepper. Set aside. -
Roll out the dough:
Divide the dough and roll it out with a pasta machine or rolling pin to a thin sheet (about 1 mm). Place small amounts of filling on one sheet, cover with another, and cut into ravioli using a pasta cutter or knife. Seal edges well. -
Cook the ravioli:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli for about 3–4 minutes, or until they float. -
Prepare the sauce:
In a skillet, melt the butter (4 tbsp / 60 g) with sage leaves over low heat. Add cooked ravioli and sauté briefly. -
Serve:
Plate the ravioli, drizzle with the butter-sage sauce, and sprinkle with grated Parmigiano to taste.
