**RECIPE, MAKES 20-25 LARGE RAVIOLI**
3 eggs
all-purpose flour (you'll need maybe 2 cups, 240g total)
1 cup (8oz, 250g) ricotta cheese
mozzarella (and handful, grated)
pecorino or parmesan cheese (a little pile, grated)
28 oz (794g) can whole plum tomatoes
1 carrot
1 shallot (or half an onion)
3-4 garlic cloves
white wine (optional)
olive oil
salt
pepper
garlic powder
fresh herbs (I used whole basil leaves)
Crack two eggs into a mixing bowl. Separate the third egg - put the white in a different bowl and put the yolk in with the other eggs. Beat the bigger bowl of eggs until smooth, and then stir in as much flour as you can with a utensil. Dump the dough onto a floured cutting board and knead in some more flour until the dough ball is reasonably smooth and firm and only a little sticky to the touch. Cover and let rest for about a half hour.
Peel and chop the garlic, shallots and carrot into little bits. Heat a film of oil in a wide pan and fry the veg until soft and starting to brown. Deglaze with the tomatoes and all of their liquid. Mash up the tomatoes, season the sauce conservatively with salt and pepper (you can add more to taste later), and stir in a glug of white wine if you're into that. Let simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until thick.
Combine all the cheeses with the egg white along with a small pinch of salt (the cheese is naturally salty), some pepper and garlic powder. Stir until smooth.
Get a large pot of heavily salted water ready to boil the pasta.
After the dough has rested, role it out into a cylinder and slice of a disc of dough. Flour it and mash it out with your fingers into a wider circle. Take any smooth, cylindrical thing (I used a pint glass) and roll out the circle until very thing. Keep dusting the flour with pasta so it doesn't stick. Spoon some filling into the center, fold the dough over on itself, seal the edges tight and trim them with a knife if you want. Keep in mind the ravioli will expand considerable when boiled, so don't make them too huge.
Boil the ravioli for 3-4 minutes until they all float and their color has lightened a bit. Drain but reserve some of the water to thin out your sauce, if necessary. Toss the ravioli with the sauce and finish with some fresh herbs. Unused ravioli can be frozen before being boiled.

My guess for the diffidence in how aggressively you have to salt the water with fresh pasta is just that the dry has to fully rehydrate in the boiling water, so whatever is dissolved in the water just gets pulled into dry pasta by default. Fresh doesn’t have nearly as much rehydration to do, if any, and any salt flavour that sticks to the pasta is probably only surface deep.

[@thelegendaryklobb2879]

Exactly, and the cooking time is a consequence of it. Dry pasta needs longer cooking, so more time for salt penetration into the dough.

[@eyeanmorris]

Yep. I would also think that fresh pasta being thicker has something to do with it

Adam, i've been watching your channel for a long time and i've been living by myself for a year now; cooking for 1 person is very sad sometimes and i always feel like it's not worth the time going through 11 steps of cooking just for myself. Well, the way you make cooking seem so easy is what made me realize it's not really that hard and your recipes always consider various points of view (like when you point out at least 3 different methods of making the same thing, the only difference being the amount of work you'll have for a very similar result). Last week i made your pizza bread recipe and left it in the fridge for 5 days for it to slowly grow like you said and i absolutely loved it! it's really hands off, you just mix the stuff and forget about it!!! Anyways, what i wanted to say is thank you for your recipes, i can't wait to try out the easy raviolis!

[@navedkhan1658]

Tl dr: this comment has no actual meaning i just felt like sharing 😂 My parents dont usually eat my cooking so basically im cooking for myself(it isnt bad just they dont prefer the type of things i make). Occasionally mom will take a few bites when i force her to try and thats it. At first cooking felt like a chore ngl. But over the time i learned how to simplify shit to the max and ngl i purposely make big batches for something like white sauce for pasta caus ik i can use it somewhere else. Even tho its alot of steps i find it totally worth it in the long run also maybe caus cooking for me is a therapeutic exercise. Its not only a great self help skill but also the fact that when u cook something for someone and it impresses them its a great feeling too. Like this one time i made fresh lasta for my debate partner and everyone tried it and they all were amazed caus no one where i am from eats fresh pasta they all know only mac and cheese or penne or spaghetti thats it. idk which tangent i am from but ye adam has been a great influence along with people like ethan and also ranveer brar.

[@ludwigziffer6895]

Hey Adam, next time you've got some basil and/or parsley, keep the stems. If you're making tomato sauce, you can chop those stems and toss them into the pot a few minutes before the onion/shallot. They add this really nice herby, sweet flavor to the sauce. You have to chop them super fine though because they're very fibrous.

[@samthunders3611]

I leave them whole to lift them out easily

[@huntertheaviator6462]

I suspect the reason you need more salt in the boiling water is because the fresh pasta already has some water content, thus will absorb less salty water than a dry pasta would.

[@Tschipp]

That too, and since it spends less time in the water it has less time to absorb the salt

[@akashgarg9776]

Eh, as someone who has studied mass transfer, for some reason I don't think this is the reason. It might be, but the rate is primarily dictated by the difference in salinity, it has nothing to do with the solvent absorption. Regardless, the equilibrium state is that the pasta and the water have equal salinity. But this is a transient system, so ... actually I'm 90% its purely a matter of time, fresh cooks faster. Therefore a higher differential is needed.

[@huntertheaviator6462]

@@akashgarg9776 That’s kinda what I was getting at in the end I think. Since the fresh pasta already has moisture, it requires less cooking time than a dry pasta would, thus absorbing less salty water than a dry pasta would. I probably could have worded my original comment better.

[@emeraldkat2167]

I'm also in the same boat of learning to make pasta. I do have some experience with sauce though and I totally suggest adding some kind of fruit to it. My family seems to like cherries the best, but I've tried every citrus, apple, pear, and even pomegranate (which makes the sauce super red, but it's sooooo good). This is especially useful if you have anyone who has acid reflux/acid indigestion issues with tomatoes.

[@randomassortmentofthings]

interestingly enough tomato-free pasta sauces (That are still red sauces, sold for people with tomato allergies) use Carrots as a base ingredient.

It's the same for past sponsors too. When you dig into the company, their products, and comparable products at different price points, many of the sponsors on this channel are a really good deal for a quality product.

Nice raviolis! I like to add a pinch of salt & a drizzle of olive oil to my homemade fresh pasta, the dough gets more supple and doesn’t need extra salt in the cooking water that way. I sometimes even add garlic powder and finely ground black pepper if I want more flavourful noodles 😉

[@kaitlyn__L]

I think you are doing it the hard way, it would be easier to first roll out the dough into one large sheet and cut circles with a glass and then mold the same way (actually, the Slavs more often call something similar vareniki or pelmeni) and if you don't want to bother with a pasta roller, you can try a rolling pin, you probably don't even have to wash it after use

[@jankelen]

Advice having made this: You need to roll your little ravioli pieces thinner than you think! They will get thicker in the pot, not to mention that you're literally folding them in half, doubling the thickness in certain parts. If the pasta is too thick, it won't cook properly. This was my first time attempting fresh pasta ever, so I'm not surprised it didn't work out quite how I imagined. I rolled the pasta as thick as I thought it should be in the final product, without accounting for expansion or folding. I boiled it for extra time and it still came out tough. I hope other people learn from my mistake!

[@christopherflorian2382]

When I saw you fill the ravioli I said "Hey, that's how I make Pierogi!" I'm so glad you mentioned putting a little less than feels natural though, I've learned that lesson the hard way too many times to even call it an accident anymore. I gotta try this now though, Ravioli is always delicious and this looks like fun! Also two little things I want to mention, I always push a fork around the edge to sorta crimp it down, Ive never tested if it helps the dough stick to itself and stay closed, but it's more for my own peace of mind. And I always cut the extra dough around the edge of the finished product not because it looks nicer (although I think it does) but it tends to stop the outer edge from being a sort of dead area where you only have dough and none of the good stuff in the middle. But I think this looks amazing! Good recipe Adam, you've officially made me hungry through my screen yet again.

[@CosmicGoatMusic]

Hey, Adam! The needed extra salt in the water for fresh pasta is simply a factor of time spent cooking. Thank you, Samin Nosrat for that tidbit. Since dried pasta is in the water anywhere 5-15 minutes depending on the shape it has a lot more time to absorb more. Whereas the fresh past is in there 2 minutes at most, so you need the water to be saltier because it's absorbing less in such a short amount of time. This is also why for rice you want very little salt in the water because it will absorb every bit of it. Cheers! Love your videos soooo much.

[@mrnorthz9373]

why dont you salt the pasta itself? im curious.

[@toastedsniper9248]

7:30 I think you need more salt in the water because the fresh pasta cooks way quicker, spends less time in the water and thereby has less time to absorb the salt! Great video:)

[@AudreysKitchen]

I disagree. The total absorption doesn't have to do with the amount of time the ravioli is in the water, but rather the moisture content. Dried pasta is like a sponge so it will soak up a lot more of the salty water. I think that makes sense.

[@teunputker]

@@AudreysKitchen When you taste pasta just a minute after it’s gone in the water, it’s definitely less salty than after it’s fully cooked. This tells me the longer you put something in a salty liquid, the saltier it gets. Same goes for marination, the longer you do it the more flavor it absorbs.

[@santanalz]

@@teunputker It's probably a mixture of both of you being partially correct. You could easily test it with some really stale bread vs fresh and doing salt water dip times. Also both have a function of time in them as well. Just my $.02, from an engineer!

It takes a great cook to know where the line is between superfluous busywork and foundational-flavours and techniques, and Adam nails that distinction here like he usually does. Well done, sir.

I'm always going to prefer my pasta roller... BUT! The first couple of times I made pasta was without a machine, and that went well, so it's certainly not a very difficult thing. A pint glass, a rolling pin, an empty wine bottle; they'll all do. Whatever method used, I'd cut down the labour time by just rolling out a long sheet of pasta, and then putting on the filling, folding it over and cutting it. (Because fold'n'cut really saves so much time.)

[@CopenhagenDreaming]

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 if you like pasta, you should definitely give it a go. It takes a bit of time, sure, but sometimes it can be nice to slow down a little in Life. (I'll be doing ravioli for 10 next week, so I'll definitely take all the easier options. And that includes freezing the filling in moulds so they all become uniform when I wrap them in the pasta and cut them out with a cookie cutter. Dinner party preparations should ALWAYS include thinking of shortcuts or easier ways to do things so you don't stress yourself out.)

[@juicicles5881]

Yum. You're the man, Adam

[@gordonyung31]

quick question, in the video Adam mentions freezing them. Can one just simply put a bunch in the freezer and use it when ever? Or are there other preparation needed to do that?

[@tipfro2]

Best cooking videos on the tube. Ravioli is my fav.

[@thisisthecallus]

I'm very concerned about the pint glass rolling method here. Pint glasses can break pretty easily. Too much pressure and the wrong glass could cause an injury.

[@phelanii4444]

I personally use whatever thick glass bottle I have around. Or rather, I did, before I got myself a rolling pin. I do not drink wine and all my olive oil comes in rectangular bottles, so having one of the right kind of bottle was rare for me 😄

[@minuteman4199]

If you get the glasses from British pubs they're designed to be bounced of peoples head and not break, so they're pretty tough, but I think you're right about other glassware.

[@jorithi]

These Ravioli are delicious and the dough is really nice to worke with.

Most important part of the recipe: An Italian grandma.

Looks delicious

It might be possible that dry pasta can take in more salt, though I'm gonna guess that the reason more salt is necessary is mostly because fresh pasta is in the water for a much shorter time.

[@farticlesofconflatulation]

Also it has some moisture to begin with. Dry pasta will soak up more salted water proportional to pre-cooked weight.

Great idea!

i looked away for 10 seconds then looked back and adam was just building a sofa what a great video

[@starfthegreat]

I need to try this with some amount of diced prosciutto mixed into the filling

[@redturtle8563]

nice recipe/guide. will definately give this a try. going to try to freeze some raw raviolis and see how they come out next week. if its not that much worse than fresh then this could be a game changer for lazy nights

[@ScribblebytesWorldwide]

The man can cook shem. I was just planning on making thus tonight and he pops up with the exact recipe I need🌟 (but I need measurements in grams or ratio).

[@dub-jscrub-j2762]

Adam really went all-in with the Tennessee merch.

[@TheArcSet]

Thanks for this.

[@Dresden358]

I made this last night. I ate so much I woke up still feeling stuffed. It's so good. I think I'll go have some leftovers

[@raymondelsayed4445]

This is a good food science channel

[@TheMrawesomest]

I've never thought of attempting to do ravioli from scratch, but this seems interesting to try on the weekend.

[@inthefade]

Make cheese raviolis from scratch, bread and deep fry them. Serve with marinara.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

@@inthefade Put dat on a crackah doo!

[@TheJoyfulMom]

Forget the sofa…look at that grand piano!!!! 😍😍😍

[@TheJoyfulMom]

But seriously that looks like a very nice sofa! And the pasta looks good too! I haven’t tried homemade pasta yet but this looks easy!

[@davidcarbone3385]

Very awesome!!!

[@wescole5979]

I'd like to add that ravioli freezes brilliantly. Just form them, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, put it in the freezer for about an hour, and dump all the frozen ravioli into a freezer bag, where they can stay until you want some ravioli.

[@ladyofthemasque]

Best ravioli I ever had was a hole-in-the-wall pasta place that the owner eventually retired from. They did fresh-made chicken ravioli in a pick-your-sauce menu, and the alfredo was *chef's kiss* perfect for it! Man, I was bummed when that place went out of business...

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

You should invest some time and learn how to recreate it at home. Make it over and over again until you achieve perfection.

[@advancedruby4729]

looks delicious

[@Hephera]

7:35 yes fresh pasta absorbs less water than dry pasta. because it already has water in it to begin with. Dry pasta rehydrates by sucking in a bunch of water. if youre finding your homemade pasta is a little under salted you can always add salt to the pasta dough as youre making it

[@pwarelis]

I'ma try'n cook this too
