Ravioli is not the easiest of pastas to make from scratch, but it is undoubtedly among the most satisfying ones. Celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor shared how to make it at home with his pesto chicken ravioli recipe.
Describing the dish on his blog, he wrote, “The raviolis may require a little effort to make, but the end result is well worth it. Flavourful chicken mince mixture and pesto sauce make this dish extra delicious and special. The recipe includes steps to make the pasta from scratch, without using premade sheets. The detailed steps are presented as follows. Make a well in the centre, add egg yolks and egg whites and knead to make a stiff dough. Put chicken mince in a grinder jar, add parsley, salt, crushed black peppercorns and fresh cream and grind to a fine mixture. Transfer this mixture into a piping bag and set aside. Dust some refined flour on the surface and on the pasta machine. Roll out the dough into a thin sheet through it. Spread the dough sheet on the worktop, pipe the chicken mince mixture at equal distances on one side of the sheet, apply water and fold. Cut into small squares and pinch the edges to seal. These are ravioli. Heat sufficient water in a deep pan, add the ravioli, and cook for five to six minutes. Meanwhile, heat a pan. Drain the ravioli and add to the pan. Add pesto sauce, cherry tomatoes and fresh cream and mix well. Transfer onto a serving plate, garnish with parmesan shavings, basil sprigs, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and serve hot.
