Preparation Steps
1
Sift the flour into a large bowl, add a pinch of salt, and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and slowly incorporate the flour into the eggs. Add a little water as needed to create a pliable dough.
2
Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3
For the filling, finely chop the fresh basil, then mix it with the ricotta cheese, honey, grated lemon zest, and vanilla extract to create a fresh, aromatic filling.
4
Roll out the dough thinly, then evenly spoon small portions of the basil-lemon filling onto one half of the dough, spacing them evenly apart.
5
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, then use a ravioli cutter or knife to cut out the ravioli. Press the edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
6
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and lightly salt it. Drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook them for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
7
Drain the ravioli, then melt the butter in a skillet and gently toss the pasta in it to lightly caramelize.
8
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, then add honey and stir until smooth to create a silky sauce.
9
When serving, drizzle with the honey sauce and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Serve warm.
