Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Create a well in the center and crack in 2 large eggs, then add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Whisk eggs and oil together gradually incorporating flour until a shaggy dough forms, about 5 minutes. Add water or flour as needed to adjust consistency.
- Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- While dough rests, finely chop 1 cup fresh strawberries and toss with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar if desired. Set aside. Keep 1/2 cup Nutella at room temperature for easy spreading.
- Cut rested dough in half. Roll out one half on a floured surface to about 1/16 inch (1.5mm) thickness, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
- Using a 2-3 inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut shapes from dough. On half the hearts, place about 1 teaspoon Nutella and a small amount of chopped strawberry. Brush edges lightly with water, top with another dough heart, and press edges firmly to seal. Crimp edges with a fork if desired.
- Place sealed ravioli on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook ravioli in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons melted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss cooked ravioli gently in butter for 1-2 minutes to coat lightly.
- Transfer ravioli to plates, dust with powdered sugar, garnish with fresh mint if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Roll dough thinner than usual and chill before cutting for tender texture. Avoid overfilling ravioli to prevent bursting. Cook in gently simmering water, not a rolling boil. Toss cooked ravioli in melted butter for a golden finish. Uncooked ravioli can be frozen on a tray before bagging. Baking option: bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes after brushing with butter.
