Homemade Four Cheese Ravioli

Ingredients and Weight:

• 1 pound 00 flour
• 6 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup fontina cheese, shredded
• 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Preparation Time:

30 minutes

Cooking Time:

10-12 minutes

Difficulty Level:

3

Preparation Method Steps:

1. To make the dough, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Use a fork to whisk the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour.
2. Once a dough starts to form, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
3. To make the filling, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, and fontina cheeses in a medium bowl. Mix well to combine.
4. Divide the dough in half and roll it out into two thin sheets, about 1/16-inch thick.
5. Place a dollop of filling in the center of one sheet of dough at 1-inch intervals.
6. Top with the second sheet of dough and press around the edges to seal.
7. Use a ravioli cutter or a knife to cut out the ravioli.
8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
9. Remove the ravioli from the pot and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.

Special Precautions and Tips:

• When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking.
• If you don't have a ravioli cutter, you can use a knife to cut out the ravioli. Just be sure to make sure that the edges are sealed well.
• These ravioli can be made ahead of time and frozen. Simply place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. When you're ready to serve, cook them directly from frozen.
