Ravioli di Carne

Ravioli di Carne is a delightful gluten-free pasta dish filled with a savory meat mixture, offering a taste of authentic Italian cuisine. Each bite reveals a tender pasta shell that complements the rich flavors of the seasoned beef and herbs inside.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free flour - 200 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground beef - 150 grams
• Ricotta cheese - 100 grams
• Parmesan cheese (grated) - 50 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Black pepper - to taste
• Nutmeg - a pinch
• Egg (for egg wash) - 1

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, 2 eggs, olive oil, and salt. Knead until a smooth dough forms, then wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg until well combined.
4. Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface until thin. Cut into circles using a round cutter or glass.
5. Place a small spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each circle. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and fold over to form a half-moon shape, pressing to seal tightly.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
7. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with your favorite sauce, such as marinara or a simple sage butter sauce.
