Ravioli filled with salmon trout

17/11/2023

Salmon trout ravioli is a refined dish that combines the delicacy of the fish with the tradition of stuffed pasta. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

  • 300 g of type 00 flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 200 g of fresh salmon trout
  • 1 shallot
  • Butter to taste
  • Fresh sage
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 50 g of fresh ricotta
  • Nutmeg to taste
  • Vegetable or fish broth

Preparation

  1. Start by preparing the egg pasta: place the flour in a mound on a clean surface, break the eggs into the center and start to knead until you get a smooth and elastic dough. Cover with cling film and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

  2. In the meantime, cook the salmon trout. In a frying pan, sauté the finely chopped shallot with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Then, add the salmon trout and let it cook until it can be easily flaked with a fork. Once cooked, remove the skin and any bones, flake it, and let it cool.

  3. Combine the flaked trout with the ricotta, a fresh grating of nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well to obtain a homogeneous filling.

  4. Roll out the egg pasta into thin sheets, then place small amounts of filling spaced apart on top of one sheet. Cover with another sheet of pasta and seal well around the filling, removing air and being careful not to break the pasta. Cut out the ravioli with a pastry cutter or a ravioli wheel.

  5. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli for a few minutes, until they float to the surface.

  6. While the ravioli are cooking, prepare a simple sauce by melting butter in a pan with some fresh sage leaves.

  7. Gently drain the ravioli and transfer them to the pan with the butter and sage, tossing them briefly to flavor.

  8. Plate the ravioli, add a pinch of fresh pepper, and, if you like, a sprinkle of grated cheese.
