Ingredients for the Dough
- 300 g flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- A little semolina for rolling the pasta
Ingredients for the Filling
- 3 medium potatoes
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- ½ bunch dill, finely chopped
- 100 g feta cheese, crumbled (or any cheese of your choice)
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For Serving
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- Pepper
- Grated cheese of your choice
Preparation
For the Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, sauté the spring onions, and set aside.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly, boil them with their skins in salted water, then peel and let them cool slightly.
- Mash the potatoes in a bowl and mix in the sautéed onions, dill, salt (if needed), pepper, and feta cheese.
- Combine well and set the filling aside.
For the Dough
- Place the flour in a large bowl and create a well in the center.
- Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt, then knead for about 10 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Add more flour if needed.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to rest.
Shaping the Ravioli
- Divide the rested dough into pieces and roll out into thin sheets using a rolling pin or pasta machine. Sprinkle with semolina to prevent sticking.
- Lay the filling along one side of a sheet in small mounds, ensuring enough space between each and leaving a border at the edges.
- Brush water around the filling and fold the sheet over to cover. Press around the filling to seal and remove air pockets.
- Cut the ravioli with a knife into desired shapes.
Cooking the Ravioli
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 4–5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat butter or olive oil in a frying pan, add garlic and pepper, and sauté until the garlic turns golden (be careful not to burn it).
- Remove the cooked ravioli with a slotted spoon, plate them, and drizzle with the garlic butter.
- Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve warm.
