Instructions
Creating Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Ravioli is easy when you follow these steps:
1. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Roll the Dough: After the dough has rested, divide it into four equal parts. Roll out each part on a floured surface until very thin, about 1/16 of an inch.
4. Form the Ravioli: Using a round cutter or a glass, cut circles from the rolled-out dough. Place about a tablespoon of filling in the center of half the circles. Moisten the edges with water and cover with the remaining dough circles. Press down to seal.
5. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
6. Prepare the Sauce (Optional): For a creamier dish, melt some butter in a pan, add garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream, then simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in Parmesan and season to taste.
7. Serve the Ravioli: Place the ravioli in a serving dish, and drizzle with olive oil or your chosen sauce. Garnish with fresh basil.
8. Enjoy!: Dig in and appreciate the wonderful flavors that each bite delivers.
