Radicchio Ravioli

Radicchio Ravioli is a delightful low-carb Italian pasta dish that combines the bold, slightly bitter flavors of radicchio with creamy ricotta in a delicate pasta shell. This dish is perfect for a sophisticated meal that doesn't compromise on flavor while keeping it healthy.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 200 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Radicchio - 150 grams, finely chopped
• Ricotta cheese - 100 grams
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - to taste
• Butter - 30 grams
• Fresh basil - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped radicchio and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until wilted. Allow to cool slightly.
4. In a bowl, mix the sautéed radicchio, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until thin. Use a round cutter to cut out circles of pasta.
6. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and seal the edges tightly.
7. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface.
8. In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add cooked ravioli and sauté gently for 2-3 minutes.
9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
