Preparation:

Meanwhile, prepare the filling: -In a bowl combine the ricotta, egg yolk, parmesan, and sugar sugar, mix. -Add the salt and cinnamon. -Take the dough and prepare it for ravioli using the pasta making machine and paying attention to the thickness of the sheet, which should not be too thin. -Create strips about 15cmwide and 40cm long. -Place spoonfuls of filling centrally on the strips about 10cm away from one another. -Fold the strip of dough over itself and cut crescent-shaped ravioli using a pastry wheel. -Place the raviolis on a sheet of paper and with a needle, poke each one gently to prevent them from breaking during cooking. 

Serve with a meat sauce sprinkled with parmesan flakes. Buon appetito Rosanna More recipes from Rosanna's Blog >>>
