Instructions
Step 1: Make the Pasta Dough
- On a clean surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center.
- Crack the eggs into the well and add the olive oil and salt.
- Using a fork, whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges.
- Once the mixture forms a dough, knead it by hand for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain well.
- In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Mash the potatoes in a mixing bowl and stir in the goat cheese, sautéed garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill until smooth.
- Allow the filling to cool completely before assembling the ravioli.
Step 3: Roll Out the Pasta Dough
- Divide the rested dough into two equal portions.
- Roll out each portion using a pasta roller or rolling pin until the dough is about ⅛ inch thick.
- Lightly dust the dough with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Assemble the Ravioli
- Lay one sheet of pasta on a floured surface.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling onto the dough, spacing each portion about 1 inch apart.
- Lightly brush water around each mound of filling to help seal the ravioli.
- Place the second sheet of pasta over the filling and press down gently, removing any air pockets.
- Cut out individual ravioli using a ravioli cutter, knife, or a round cookie cutter. Press the edges with a fork to seal.
Step 5: Cook the Ravioli
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
- Drop the ravioli into the water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 6: Make the Garlic Dill Butter Sauce
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and optional lemon zest.
- Toss the cooked ravioli in the sauce, coating them evenly.
Step 7: Serve and Garnish
- Plate the ravioli and drizzle with additional sauce.
- Garnish with fresh dill, grated Parmesan, and cracked black pepper.
- Serve immediately.
