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 to form a dough. Add a little water as needed to achieve a pliable consistency.
2
Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3
For the filling, finely chop the candied orange peel. In a bowl, combine the chopped candied orange peel with the mascarpone, honey, vanilla extract, grated orange zest, and cinnamon. Mix well until you have a creamy filling.
4
Roll out the dough thinly. Evenly space small dollops of the honey-orange filling on one half of the pasta sheet.
5
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Use a ravioli cutter or knife to cut out the individual ravioli. Press the edges firmly to seal and prevent the filling from escaping 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 for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
7
Drain the ravioli. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Gently toss the ravioli in the melted butter to lightly caramelize them.
8
To serve, drizzle with a little honey and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Serve warm.
