Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 lb Graukäse cheese
- 1/2 lb Käse cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Special equipment needed:
- Pasta maker
- Ravioli cutter
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, water, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. In the meantime, grate the Graukäse and Käse cheese and mix them together in a bowl.
4. Roll out the pasta dough using a pasta maker until it is thin enough to see through.
5. Place small spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto one half of the pasta sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each spoonful.
6. Fold the other half of the pasta sheet over the cheese and press down around each spoonful to seal the ravioli.
7. Use a ravioli cutter to cut out each individual ravioli.
8. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
9. In a separate pan, melt the butter and add the chopped parsley. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the parsley is fragrant.
10. Drain the ravioli and toss them in the butter sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
