Ingredients for the Dough
- 300 g flour
- 3 large boiled carrots
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt
- A little semolina for rolling out the dough
Preparation for the Dough
- Prepare the Carrots:
Peel and chop the carrots, boil them until soft, then drain. Pat them dry with paper towels, blend into a puree, and set aside. - Mix the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, place the flour and create a well in the center.
Add the eggs, olive oil, salt, and pureed carrot into the well.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky due to the moisture in the carrots, gradually add more flour. - Rest the Dough:
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour. - Roll the Dough:
Divide the rested dough into portions and roll out each portion using a rolling pin or a pasta machine.
Roll the sheets to the desired thinness. If using a pasta machine, adjust the settings incrementally to make the sheets thinner, dusting with semolina to prevent sticking. - Fill and Shape the Ravioli:
Place small mounds of filling along one side of the sheet, leaving gaps and a border around the edges.
Brush water around the filling using a pastry brush. Fold the other half of the sheet over the filling and press around the edges to seal and remove any air.
Cut the ravioli into individual pieces with a knife.
Ingredients for the Filling
- 200 g finely chopped shrimp
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 2 finely chopped garlic cloves
- 2 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chopped basil

- 50 g water

Preparation for the Filling
- Sauté the Base:
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. - Add Tomatoes and Seasoning:
Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, water, salt, pepper, and paprika. Simmer for 10 minutes. - Cook the Shrimp:
Add the shrimp and basil, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
