4 Eggs
1 Onion, 1 Celery and 1 Carrot

Directions:

For the dough: put the Remilled Durum Wheat Semolina and Solina - Soft Wheat Flour onto a flat surface and make a well in it. Add 4 eggs.

Mix all the ingredients together with a fork and by hands to form a dough, continuing to knead it's smooth. Cover the dough with cellophane and let stand at least for 30 minutes in the fridge.

In the meantime, put half onion in a pan with celery and carrot. Sautè for 2 over low heat until they are brown all over. Add PrimoGrano Tomato Pear in pieces cooking at medium heat.

Mix ricotta and pecorino in a bowl, add a pinch of pepper, and put the filling in a sac à poche.

Roll it out thinly. If the dough is too sticky, dust with a little bit of flour. Cut the dough with a ravioli cutter to slice your dough in horizontal and vertical strips (in equal numbers) to form a criss cross dough. Each quarter of dough will make approximately twelve ravioli.

Put the filling in the center of each rectangle, and close the dough by hands to form your favourite geometry.

Now, all that remains is tossing your ravioli into a pot of water at a low boil. Cook for approximately three minutes. Successively, dry the ravioli and sautè in a pan with the seasoning.

Put the ravioli in a platter, add a lot of grated abruzzese pecorino and garnish with scented fresh basil, then serve.
