How To Make Turkuaz Kitchen Three-Cheese Ravioli

1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together ricotta, parmesan, asiago cheese, garlic, lemon zest, mint, and basil until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
2. Make the Dough: Place the flour on a work surface, add salt and sugar, and make a well in the center. Add the eggs and egg yolks to the well. Using a fork, pierce the yolks and whisk them, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides. Drizzle olive oil over the dough and knead for 5-6 minutes until it is elastic and no longer sticky. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tbsp water. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
3. Roll the Dough: Slice the dough into 4-6 equal pieces and run each piece through a pasta roller. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
4. Fill and Shape the Ravioli: Lay one sheet of pasta on a lightly floured work surface. Spread 1/2 cup of the filling evenly onto the pasta sheet, leaving a 1/4-inch border on the long sides. Lay the second sheet on top and gently press out the air. Roll a ravioli rolling pin across the top with some pressure. Using a ravioli cutter, cut the ravioli along the lines left by the rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
5. Cook the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and burst, about 10-12 minutes. Smash the tomatoes with a wooden spoon or blend them in a food processor. Add fresh basil leaves and season with salt and pepper. Stir well.
6. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fresh ravioli for 6-7 minutes, then drain.
7. Combine and Serve: Transfer the drained ravioli to the saucepan with the sauce and toss gently to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with grated parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh basil and mint give a better taste. Don’t use dried herbs.
• Chill the Filling: Keep the cheese filling in the fridge for at least an hour. This makes it firm and easy to use.
• Knead the Dough Well: Knead the pasta dough until it is smooth and stretchy. This is important for the right texture.
• Seal the Ravioli Properly: Press out all the air and seal the edges well when making the ravioli. This stops them from opening while cooking.
• Cook Tomatoes Slowly: Let the cherry tomatoes cook slowly until they burst. This makes a rich and tasty sauce.

What To Serve With This Cheesy Ravioli
