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, adding a little water as needed to form a pliable dough.
2
Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3
Finely chop the toasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate, then mix them with the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well to create a smooth and even filling.
4
Roll out the dough thinly, and place small dollops of the 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 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 water to a boil, and lightly salt it. Cook the ravioli for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
7
Drain the ravioli, then melt the butter in a skillet. Gently toss the ravioli in the melted butter to lightly caramelize them.
8
Serve sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts and grated chocolate. Enjoy warm!
