- 2 all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the ravioli)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Prepare the Dough
On a clean surface, make a well in the center of the flour. Add the eggs and salt to the well. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. - Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, Gorgonzola, salt, and pepper until well combined. - Assemble the RavioliRoll out the ravioli dough on a floured surface to about 1/16 inch thickness. Place teaspoons of filling about 1 inch apart over half of the pasta sheet. Brush the edges and around each mound of filling with the beaten egg. Fold the other half of the pasta over the filling and press down to seal, making sure to remove all air pockets. Cut into individual ravioli with a pastry cutter or knife.
- Cook the RavioliBring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli in batches and cook for about 4 minutes, or until they float to the top and are tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with your favorite sauce.
