Homemade Goat Cheese Ravioli with Basil

This Homemade Goat Cheese Ravioli pasta is tossed with zesty olive oil sauce and packed with so much flavor. Made from scratch ravioli dough is filled with only three ingredients, creamy goat cheese, parmesan and fresh basil.

Handmade pasta is so rewarding and I believe anybody can make it! It’s obviously more time consuming than a store bought dough but so worth it! You can do any filling of choice, for this one I used a few ingredients I had in the fridge, goat cheese, parmesan and fresh basil.

RAVIOLI DOUGH FROM SCRATCH INGREDIENTS

All-purpose flour, organic if possible

Hot water

Sea salt

HOW TO MAKE RAVIOLI DOUGH 

To make the dough, in a medium bowl mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the hot water. Mix with your hands until it forms a solid ball. Add more water/flour if needed. Transfer to a well floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Cover with a plastic wrap or kitchen towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

HOW TO MAKE PASTA DOUGH IN KITCHENAID 

If you own the standing mixer with a dough hook place all the ingredients and mix until the dough forms. It’s so easy and mess free! Then transfer to a floured surface and cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Parmesan cheese or pecorino romano – I’ve made this recipe without it however, the addition of parmesan adds such a great flavor!

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the water. Mix with your hands until it forms a solid ball. Add more water/flour if needed.
2. Transfer to a well floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Cover with a plastic wrap or kitchen towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes. If using a standing mixer with a dough hook there’s no need to knead with hands.
3. Meanwhile, mix softened goat cheese with oil, parmesan, basil, salt and black pepper.
4. To make the ravioli, you can use this  ravioli maker following the instructions, knife or pizza cutter. Divide the dough in 4 equal parts. Roll the dough into thin sheets. Place about 1 1/2 tsp of filling one inch apart over half the pasta sheet (12 in total). Cover the filling with another sheet of pasta and press firmly around the filling to seal. Cut into individual ravioli with a knife or pizza cutter. Seal the edges.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches about 2-3 minutes or until they float. Drain and add toss ravioli with the sauce.
6. To make the sauce. In a large skillet add the olive oil. Stir in garlic, red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, stirring frequently for about a minute. Add wine and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes until the alcohol has evaporated. Add lemon juice, basil and season with salt and pepper. Stir in cooked ravioli and coat with the sauce.
