Fish ravioli with cherry tomatoes is a delicious dish that combines the delicacy of fish with the fresh flavors of cherry tomatoes. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

  • For the ravioli:

    • 300 g of type 00 flour
    • 3 eggs
    • 300 g of fish of your choice (e.g. sea bass, gilthead, prawns)
    • Salt
    • Pepper

  • For the filling:

    • 200 g of ricotta cheese
    • Chopped parsley
    • Grated lemon zest
    • Salt and pepper to taste

  • For the dressing:

    • 250 g of cherry tomatoes
    • 2 cloves of garlic
    • Extra virgin olive oil
    • Salt and pepper
    • Fresh basil

Preparation

  1. Start by preparing the pasta for the ravioli: in a bowl, pour the flour, make a well in the center and add the eggs, a pinch of salt and mix until you have a smooth and elastic dough. Let the dough rest, covered with a damp cloth, for about 30 minutes.

  2. In the meantime, prepare the filling: cook the chosen fish, clean it and finely shred it with a fork. Combine the ricotta, parsley, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Mix until you have a homogeneous mixture.

  3. Roll out the pasta with the help of a pasta machine or rolling pin, getting two thin sheets. Place small amounts of filling along one sheet, spacing them properly. Cover with the second sheet and cut the ravioli with a pastry cutter. Seal the edges by pressing with your fingers or with the tines of a fork.

  4. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

  5. While the ravioli are cooking, prepare the dressing: in a non-stick pan, heat a drizzle of oil with the garlic cloves. Add the cherry tomatoes cut in half, salt and pepper them and let them cook until they are slightly softened. Remove the garlic and turn off the heat.

  6. Drain the ravioli with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the pan with the tomatoes. Turn the heat back on and toss the ravioli for a few minutes, so they are well seasoned.

  7. Plate the ravioli, add a drizzle of raw oil, garnish with a few leaves of fresh basil and serve immediately.

It’s a dish that allows you to explore the combination of sea and land, made even more authentic by the addition of fresh basil that recalls Italian culinary traditions. Bon appétit!
