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, working towards the center. Add water as needed to create a pliable dough.
2
Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3
For the filling, finely chop the toasted hazelnuts and mix them with the melted milk caramel, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until you have a rich, silky filling.
4
Roll out the dough thinly. Evenly distribute small spoonfuls of the hazelnut-caramel filling onto one half of the dough, spacing them appropriately.
5
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Use a ravioli cutter or a knife to cut out the individual ravioli. Press the edges firmly together to seal in the filling.
6
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
7
Drain the ravioli. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Gently toss the ravioli in the melted butter to lightly caramelize them.
8
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until warm. Add the grated dark chocolate and stir until smooth, creating a silky chocolate sauce.
9
To serve, drizzle the chocolate sauce over the ravioli and sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts. Serve warm.
