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 the dough until it comes together. Add a little water as needed to achieve a pliable dough.
2
Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3
For the filling, finely chop the smoked salmon and combine it with the ricotta cheese, orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, and finely chopped dill.
4
Roll out the pasta dough thinly. Evenly spoon small amounts of the 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 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. Drop in the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
7
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: melt the butter in a skillet, then add the heavy cream and a splash of orange juice. Heat until the sauce is smooth and silky.
8
Drain the ravioli and gently toss them in the orange cream sauce.
9
To serve, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with fresh dill. Serve immediately.
