    **RECIPE, MAKES 20-25 LARGE RAVIOLI**
    3 eggs
    all-purpose flour (you'll need maybe 2 cups, 240g total)
    1 cup (8oz, 250g) ricotta cheese
    mozzarella (and handful, grated)
    pecorino or parmesan cheese (a little pile, grated)
    28 oz (794g) can whole plum tomatoes
    1 carrot
    1 shallot (or half an onion)
    3-4 garlic cloves
    white wine (optional)
    olive oil
    salt
    pepper
    garlic powder
    fresh herbs (I used whole basil leaves)
    Crack two eggs into a mixing bowl. Separate the third egg - put the white in a different bowl and put the yolk in with the other eggs. Beat the bigger bowl of eggs until smooth, and then stir in as much flour as you can with a utensil. Dump the dough onto a floured cutting board and knead in some more flour until the dough ball is reasonably smooth and firm and only a little sticky to the touch. Cover and let rest for about a half hour.
    Peel and chop the garlic, shallots and carrot into little bits. Heat a film of oil in a wide pan and fry the veg until soft and starting to brown. Deglaze with the tomatoes and all of their liquid. Mash up the tomatoes, season the sauce conservatively with salt and pepper (you can add more to taste later), and stir in a glug of white wine if you're into that. Let simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until thick.
    Combine all the cheeses with the egg white along with a small pinch of salt (the cheese is naturally salty), some pepper and garlic powder. Stir until smooth.
    Get a large pot of heavily salted water ready to boil the pasta.
    After the dough has rested, role it out into a cylinder and slice of a disc of dough. Flour it and mash it out with your fingers into a wider circle. Take any smooth, cylindrical thing (I used a pint glass) and roll out the circle until very thing. Keep dusting the flour with pasta so it doesn't stick. Spoon some filling into the center, fold the dough over on itself, seal the edges tight and trim them with a knife if you want. Keep in mind the ravioli will expand considerable when boiled, so don't make them too huge.
    Boil the ravioli for 3-4 minutes until they all float and their color has lightened a bit. Drain but reserve some of the water to thin out your sauce, if necessary. Toss the ravioli with the sauce and finish with some fresh herbs. Unused ravioli can be frozen before being boiled.

    @kokomoman Před 2 lety +432

    My guess for the diffidence in how aggressively you have to salt the water with fresh pasta is just that the dry has to fully rehydrate in the boiling water, so whatever is dissolved in the water just gets pulled into dry pasta by default. Fresh doesn’t have nearly as much rehydration to do, if any, and any salt flavour that sticks to the pasta is probably only surface deep.

    • @thelegendaryklobb2879
      @thelegendaryklobb2879 Před 2 lety +44

      Exactly, and the cooking time is a consequence of it. Dry pasta needs longer cooking, so more time for salt penetration into the dough.

    Adam, i've been watching your channel for a long time and i've been living by myself for a year now; cooking for 1 person is very sad sometimes and i always feel like it's not worth the time going through 11 steps of cooking just for myself. Well, the way you make cooking seem so easy is what made me realize it's not really that hard and your recipes always consider various points of view (like when you point out at least 3 different methods of making the same thing, the only difference being the amount of work you'll have for a very similar result). Last week i made your pizza bread recipe and left it in the fridge for 5 days for it to slowly grow like you said and i absolutely loved it! it's really hands off, you just mix the stuff and forget about it!!!
    Anyways, what i wanted to say is thank you for your recipes, i can't wait to try out the easy raviolis!

      My parents dont usually eat my cooking so basically im cooking for myself(it isnt bad just they dont prefer the type of things i make). Occasionally mom will take a few bites when i force her to try and thats it. At first cooking felt like a chore ngl. But over the time i learned how to simplify shit to the max and ngl i purposely make big batches for something like white sauce for pasta caus ik i can use it somewhere else. Even tho its alot of steps i find it totally worth it in the long run also maybe caus cooking for me is a therapeutic exercise. Its not only a great self help skill but also the fact that when u cook something for someone and it impresses them its a great feeling too. Like this one time i made fresh lasta for my debate partner and everyone tried it and they all were amazed caus no one where i am from eats fresh pasta they all know only mac and cheese or penne or spaghetti thats it. idk which tangent i am from but ye adam has been a great influence along with people like ethan and also ranveer brar.

    Hey Adam, next time you've got some basil and/or parsley, keep the stems. If you're making tomato sauce, you can chop those stems and toss them into the pot a few minutes before the onion/shallot. They add this really nice herby, sweet flavor to the sauce. You have to chop them super fine though because they're very fibrous.

      Eh, as someone who has studied mass transfer, for some reason I don't think this is the reason. It might be, but the rate is primarily dictated by the difference in salinity, it has nothing to do with the solvent absorption.
      Regardless, the equilibrium state is that the pasta and the water have equal salinity.
      But this is a transient system, so ... actually I'm 90% its purely a matter of time, fresh cooks faster. Therefore a higher differential is needed.

My family seems to like cherries the best, but I've tried every citrus, apple, pear, and even pomegranate (which makes the sauce super red, but it's sooooo good). This is especially useful if you have anyone who has acid reflux/acid indigestion issues with tomatoes.

    When I saw you fill the ravioli I said "Hey, that's how I make Pierogi!" I'm so glad you mentioned putting a little less than feels natural though, I've learned that lesson the hard way too many times to even call it an accident anymore. I gotta try this now though, Ravioli is always delicious and this looks like fun! Also two little things I want to mention, I always push a fork around the edge to sorta crimp it down, Ive never tested if it helps the dough stick to itself and stay closed, but it's more for my own peace of mind. And I always cut the extra dough around the edge of the finished product not because it looks nicer (although I think it does) but it tends to stop the outer edge from being a sort of dead area where you only have dough and none of the good stuff in the middle. But I think this looks amazing! Good recipe Adam, you've officially made me hungry through my screen yet again.

    I think you are doing it the hard way, it would be easier to first roll out the dough into one large sheet and cut circles with a glass and then mold the same way (actually, the Slavs more often call something similar vareniki or pelmeni)
    and if you don't want to bother with a pasta roller, you can try a rolling pin, you probably don't even have to wash it after use

      I disagree. The total absorption doesn't have to do with the amount of time the ravioli is in the water, but rather the moisture content. Dried pasta is like a sponge so it will soak up a lot more of the salty water. I think that makes sense.

    Advice having made this:
    You need to roll your little ravioli pieces thinner than you think! They will get thicker in the pot, not to mention that you're literally folding them in half, doubling the thickness in certain parts. If the pasta is too thick, it won't cook properly.
    This was my first time attempting fresh pasta ever, so I'm not surprised it didn't work out quite how I imagined. I rolled the pasta as thick as I thought it should be in the final product, without accounting for expansion or folding. I boiled it for extra time and it still came out tough. I hope other people learn from my mistake!

Seriously, why would you care? What makes food good is how well it aligns with and builds on our taste memories, not how much ritual goes into its preparation. It takes a great cook to know where the line is between superfluous busywork and foundational-flavours and techniques, and Adam nails that distinction here like he usually does. Well done, sir.

    Hey, Adam! The needed extra salt in the water for fresh pasta is simply a factor of time spent cooking. Thank you, Samin Nosrat for that tidbit. Since dried pasta is in the water anywhere 5-15 minutes depending on the shape it has a lot more time to absorb more. Whereas the fresh past is in there 2 minutes at most, so you need the water to be saltier because it's absorbing less in such a short amount of time. This is also why for rice you want very little salt in the water because it will absorb every bit of it. Cheers! Love your videos soooo much.

    Whatever method used, I'd cut down the labour time by just rolling out a long sheet of pasta, and then putting on the filling, folding it over and cutting it. (Because fold'n'cut really saves so much time.)
