Instructions:

To make the lemon ricotta ravioli, first combine flour and salt in a large baking bowl. Add the egg yolks and work them in with a fork. Then place the dough on a lightly floured board and knead well for 8 minutes (add a little more flour in case the dough sticks too much). The dough should then be nice and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

Stir through the ingredients for the filling.

Divide dough into thirds and gradually work the thirds through the pasta machine. Start with the largest roller setting and decrease until dough is nice and thin. Turn out finished dough sheets onto kitchen towels and cover with towels to prevent drying out.

Place a teaspoon of filling on a spread dough strand about every 4 inches, about 2 1/2 inches from the edge of the side. Brush edges of dough and spaces between with water. Fold dough half over filling, smooth around filling, smoothing out air spaces, then cut or wheel ravioli with a cookie cutter. Dust finished ravioli with semolina and cover with a kitchen towel.

For the sauce, melt the butter in a large, deep frying pan, stir in the zest, and season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook ravioli one at a time for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a colander.

2/3 cup pastawas

Preparation Tip:

If you like, you can cut two lemons into wedges and cut them in half and also mix them briefly into the sauce. Arrange the lemon ricotta ravioli on the lemon slices.
