Poppy Seed and Quark Ravioli
Poppy Seed and Quark Ravioli is a truly special dessert born from the meeting of Italian and Hungarian cuisine. Poppy seeds and quark cheese are traditionally popular ingredients in Hungarian desserts, while ravioli is one of the most well-known forms of Italian pasta dishes. This recipe is a perfect blend of the two gastronomic traditions, hiding a silky and soft filling in a freshly cooked pasta shell. The sour cream and poppy seed topping further enhances the dish's rich flavor profile. Served with a cup of fresh coffee or a glass of dessert wine, it becomes a real gourmet treat.

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 gradually incorporate the flour. Add a little water as needed to create a pliable dough.
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, combine the quark cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
4
Roll out the dough thinly. Evenly spoon small portions of the filling onto one half of the dough, spacing them apart.
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 leaking during cooking.
6
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli 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.
8
To serve, toss the ravioli with ground poppy seeds and sour cream. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
