Ingredients
- For the cocoa flavoured pasta:
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- Ingredients for the filling:
- 2 Williams pears
- 200 g grated Grana Padano Riserva
- 200 g ricotta cheese
- 30 g chopped walnuts
- salt
- pepper
- Ingredients for the dressing:
- 50 g butter
- 3-4 sage leaves
- salt
- pepper
Preparation
Sift the flour and cocoa and mix together in a bowl.
Place the eggs, a pinch of salt, and the olive oil in a well in the centre of the flour, begin mixing with a fork, then knead with your hands into a soft, smooth pasta dough. Shape into a ball, cover with cling film and set aside to rest for an hour.
In the meantime, prepare the filling: peel and dice 2 pears then cook in a non-stick pan until soft.
Transfer half the pears into a bowl, add the ricotta, chopped walnuts and grated Grana Padano Riserva and mix well, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Divide the cocoa pasta dough in half and roll out to obtain 2 rectangular sheets, each a few millimetres thick.
Place small heaps of filling on one of the rectangles, arranging them in rows spaced about 3-4 cm apart; place the other pasta rectangle on top and cut out the ravioli using a round pastry cutter.
Cook the ravioli in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, drain and sauté in a pan with the butter, the rest of the cooked pears and the sage leaves.
Serve hot, garnished with Grana Padano cheese shavings..
