"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore". We at Food for flexitarians are taking a trip into Italian cuisine today. As in the song lyrics, you can tell that homemade ravioli will make your life partner very happy. As mentioned in other dishes, there are different types of dough and fillings all over the world. Ravioli are firmly rooted in Italian cuisine and are a little more time-consuming, but the work is worth it.

Instructions
Pasta dough
For the pasta dough, put all the ingredients in a food processor and knead it with a dough hook. Then knead again by hand to a smooth dough.
Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for about half an hour.
Filling
For the filling, peel the shallot, garlic and Jerusalem artichoke and cut them into fine brunoise.
Then sauté these ingredients in olive oil in a pan until translucent, add the baby spinach and deglaze with white wine to allow the spinach to collapse.
Season the mixture with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Mix everything in a bowl with the ricotta and egg yolk and leave to cool in the fridge.
Ravioli
For the ravioli, roll out the pasta dough thinly with a pasta machine. Two thin sheets of pasta dough are needed for the ravioli.
Then place small heaps of filling on the first sheet of pasta. Now brush the edges of the first pasta sheet thinly with an egg yolk-water mixture.
Then place the second pasta sheet over the first pasta sheet with filling and press down.
In the penultimate step, either cut out the ravioli or shape them with a pasta roller. In the last step, boil the pasta in enough salted water. Approximately four minutes.
Trufflefoam
Reduce the white wine and Noilly Prat by half.
Then pour in vegetable stock and reduce again slightly.
Add the cream and bring to the boil once.
Then remove from the heat and mix in the truffle/normal butter with a hand blender.
Season to taste with salt and white pepper.
Resumé
With this dish, you should bring along a lot of time and desire to cook. However, as already mentioned in the song " it`s amore", these ravioli with truffle foam are really delicious. As is often the case, ravioli can be filled in different ways, but these are an absolute classic. For that certain kick, of course, white Alba truffle goes very well, but it is very expensive and not for the small purse.
