Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tea glass of warm water
- 1 dessertspoon of salt
- 2,5 cups of flour
For the Stuffing:
- 150 gr white cheese (optionally meat.)
- 1 small-sized onion
- Half a glass of chopped parsley
For Dressing:
- 60 gr butter
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
Recipe
Whisk the egg, water and salt in a bowl. Slowly add flour and knead. Separate the dough into the lumps, cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes. Grind the cheese with a fork. Chop the onion and mix it with the cheese. Add chopped parsley. Spread the dough on a floured surface. Cut squares with a width of 6 cm. Place the cheese mixture on the ends and close it in a triangle shape. Press the edges with the fork to make them stick. Cook in boiling salted water until tender. Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry with tomato paste. Put the ravioli on the serving plate. Pour the tomato sauce on top and serve hot.
