Method
- Sift the two flours with the semolina to mix well.
- Arrange on a surface in a fountain shape and add the salt.
- Add the whole eggs and yolks.
- Break them gently with a fork, then gradually incorporate the flour from the edges, little by little.
- When the mixture becomes dense, start kneading with your hands.
- Add the oil and knead energetically until the dough is smooth and soft.
- Form a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the fridge for at least one hour.
- Take a portion of the dough and press it with the palm. Set the pasta roller to the widest setting, dust with semolina and flour, and roll out the dough.
- Gradually reduce the roller settings, folding the dough between passes to even out the shape, until you reach the second-last setting.
- Flour the work surface and set the sheet aside.
- Prepare the filling: mix together ricotta, mortadella, basil, salt, pepper, and oil.
- Trim the edges of the pasta sheet to make it straight, then divide the sheet for easier handling.
- Place small dollops of filling on the sheet.
- Moisten the edges of the sheet with water.
- Cover with another sheet of pasta, gently.
- Use a round cutter (smooth side) to remove air and shape the ravioli.
- Use a larger cutter (sharp side) to cut out the ravioli.
- Dust with flour and set aside.
- Place the ravioli on a dry, well-floured towel, spaced apart.
- Cover and refrigerate for 4-5 hours, or freeze for later use.
