Ravioli con coniglio

INGREDIENTS (for the pasta)

  • 200 g of flour
  • 2 eggs per pasta (the ones with the yellowest yolk)
  • a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil

INGREDIENTS (for the filling)

  • 2 rabbit legs
  • 1 carrot
  • a stalk of celery
  • aromatic herbs (sage, rosemary, thyme)
  • a glass of dry white wine
  • 4 tablespoons of cream
  • 30 g of butter
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

INGREDIENTS (for the dressing)

  • centrifuged cream butter (i.e. good quality)
  • grated parmesan chopped hazelnuts

PROCEDURE

  • Prepare the fresh pasta by kneading the ingredients for 10 minutes.
  • Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for 30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the filling.
  • Roast the rabbit legs, together with the aromatic herbs, with a little extra virgin olive oil on both sides; add diced carrot and celery. Deglaze with white wine, salt and pepper and continue cooking for about half an hour. Remove the pulp and chop it with a knife if you like a thicker consistency or in a mixer, adding the other ingredients (cream, butter, parmesan, vegetables and a little cooking liquid).
  • Roll out the dough thinly (if using a pasta machine, until it reaches the final thickness).
  • Distribute the filling in small mounds spaced apart from each other. I used a fluted pastry wheel to achieve this effect (see photo).
  • Shape the ravioli as you prefer (even the multiple mold is fine). Be careful to let the air out otherwise they could break during cooking.
  • Place them on trays/cutting boards sprinkled with semolina.
  • Cook them in salted water for about 5/6 minutes (depending on the thickness of the pasta).
  • Lightly toast the chopped hazelnuts.
  • Season them with melted butter flavored with herbs and sprinkle the parmesan and chopped hazelnuts on top.
