Ravioli Caprese
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
Dough:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup very hot water

Filling:
3/4 cup whole milk ricotta
1 egg
1/2 cup finely shredded store-bought rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Sauce:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
For the dough:
In a large bowl combine the flour and the water. Using a wooden spoon, stir to combine into a large
ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 10 minutes.

For the filling:
Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to combine.

To form the ravioli, cut the dough into 4 evenly sized pieces. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Add extra flour as necessary for rolling, but use only a little as necessary. Form each piece into a
2 by 6-inch rectangle. Recover the dough with the plastic wrap.

Lightly dust the work surface and a rolling pin. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll the

dough into a 4 by 19-inch rectangle. Place 9 rounded teaspoons of filling about 1-inch apart down
the center of the dough. Fold the dough over the filling. Press down around the edges of each of the
ravioli with your fingertips. Cut the ravioli into small squares and press down around the edges
again with your fingertips to seal. Place the finished ravioli on a baking tray and continue forming
the remaining ravioli.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add half the ravioli and cook until the
ravioli float stirring occasionally, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain into a large bowl and cook the
remaining ravioli.

Pour the olive oil over the cooked ravioli. Add the basil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Gently toss
to coat and serve immediately.
