How to make Tuscan ravioli stuffed with potatoes and bacon 😋

This recipe is very common here near Florence, you can use stretched bacon, guanciale or smoked bacon and the outcome will be great in any case. A variant of this recipe is with ragù mixed to the potatoes in the filling. For the seasoning i will suggest a good ragu or the sauce from the braised pork ribs like in the video. You can find the video recipe of those two seasoning on my channel, I hope you enjoy and try this recipe ^_^

equipment I use:
Pasta Maker : amzn.to/2KebO2n
Ravioli Cutter: amzn.to/36R1Trh
Ravioli Maker Mold: amzn.to/3lOefqj
Tortelli ( this is how this kind of ravioli is called in Tuscany ) serving for 5/6 persons
For the dough
400 gr ( 14.11 ounce ) all purpose
100 gr ( 3.53 ounce ) semolina flour
40 gr ( 1.41 ounce ) extra virgin olive oil
4 eggs
salt
For the filling
500 gr ( 17.64 ounce ) potatoes
100 gr ( 3.53 ounce ) stretched bacon, pancetta, or guanciale or smoked bacon
50 gr ( 1.76 ounce ) grated parmigiano
20 gr ( 0.71 ounce ) butter
1 eggs
3 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
sage leaf
rosemary
nutmeg
salt
in a pan put 20 gr butter, 3 clove of garlic cut in half, 2 sage leaf, a bit of rosemary. Let the garlic brown lightly then add 100 gr stretched bacon ( you can also use guanciale or smoked bacon ) Cook for a couple of minutes then add 1 tablespoon tomato paste. Keep cooking the bacon until is well crispy. Remove the garlic, sage and rosemary and let the bacon cool a bit
take 500 gr boiled potatoes and smash them. Add 1 egg, a bit of grated nutmeg, the bacon with the melted fat, 50 gr grated parmigiano and mix well. Add black pepper and salt if needed. Let the filling rest for at least 1 hour in fridge
now let's prepare the dough
On a pastry board put 400 gr all-purpose flour and 100 gr semolina flour, make a hole in the center where we will put 4 whole eggs and 40 gr extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt.
With a fork amalgamate the eggs and let the flour be incorporated, salt the dough and continue this operation until it will be possible to work it by hand.
work the dough until it is smooth and even. Leave it to rest in a film in the fridge for 30 minutes at least.
work the dough with a rolling pin and divide in several part
now with the help of a pasta machine begin to lower the thickness of the dough
the dough will be ready when it is one millimetre thick or a little more
take a ravioli maker cutter or a glass, the procedure is always the same, take a leaf of dough put a teaspoon of filling cover with another leaf of dough and cut pressing well, you can also use a molding tray like the one in the description.
when you put the second leaf of dough on the filling is important to press gently around the filling to let the air to come out the raviolo before sealing it
Put a large pot with abundant water on the fire, add salt ( normally 10 gr - 0.35 ounce for 1 liter - 0.26 gallon) and bring to boiling point.
Add the ravioli in batch stirring gently. Boil for 5/7 minutes, remove them with the help of a skimming ladle.
For the seasoning you can use a good ragu, tomato sauce or, like i've done for this video, the sauce of Italian braised pork ribs ( a previous video that you can find on the channel )
