Homemade Pear and Gorgonzola Ravioli
Homemade Pear and Gorgonzola Ravioli
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
2 ripe pears - peeled, cored, and cubed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
7 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1 pound fresh pasta dough
Directions
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pears
and thyme; cook, stirring often, until pears have softened, about 10 minutes.
Crumble Gorgonzola cheese over pears; cook and stir until melted, 2 to 3
minutes. Remove skillet from heat and cool filling completely.
Cut pasta dough into 3 equal pieces. Flatten the first piece
of dough on a floured work surface; roll with a rolling pin 5 or 6 times. Turn
the dough 45 degrees and roll again, 5 to 6 times. Keep rolling and turning in
the same direction until dough has a consistent thickness of about 1/16-inch.
Repeat with remaining 2 pieces of pasta dough.
Gently transfer 1 pasta sheet to a floured surface and cut
in half to form 2 evenly sized rectangles. Drop about 1 teaspoon filling onto 1
rectangle, spacing the filling about 1-inch apart. Brush the spaces around the
filling with water.
Lay the second rectangle on top of the first. Gently squeeze
out the air around the filling and press firmly with your hands to seal the
edges and all dough around the filling.
Cut square ravioli shapes using a ravioli cutter. Transfer
the ravioli to a floured plate or board. Repeat with the remaining dough and
filling. Let the ravioli stand for about 30 minutes.
Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil; gently
add ravioli, working in batches. Cook until ravioli float to the top, about 3
minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon and transfer to a warm bowl.
