Recipe: Oozy egg ravioli
From: Cook with Jamie
Eggs are stupid,
Eggs are dumb,
So take the eggs
And stick em up your........
:D
The theme for this week's Cookbook Challenge is "eggs" and I actually don't think eggs are stupid nor dumb. I love eggs! My favourite way of eating them is poached, with a still oozy yolk. Which is probably why I decided on this recipe.
For the theme this week, I made fresh pasta (with eggs) and turned the pasta into oozy egg ravioli. Double the egginess right there. I think I remember seeing this ravioli on the Fifteen reality show, and I remember it looking very impressive.
The recipe involves first making the pasta, and then rolling it out (or putting it through a pasta machine) into thin sheets. A tablespoon of seasoned ricotta is placed down, and an egg yolk is placed on top.
Here's one ravioli ready for the top sheet of pasta - look at that beautiful yolk. After the yolk is placed, the ravioli is sealed, and then cooked for a few minutes, before being covered in a butter sauce and topped with some pepper and a smattering of parmesan.
While making the ravioli isn't complicated, it is a bit of effort putting them together. You have to be quite careful not to break the egg yolks - I broke two, gaaaah. The only change I made from the recipe was to put some sage leaves into the butter.
>Ideally, only cooking the pasta for a few minutes will leave the yolk still runny. And ahhh yes, so it did. It does look good with the gooey yolk. I'm not sure I would bother making them again, but I'm glad I tried it at least once!
