Gluten Free Ravioli With Potatoartichokefeta Filling Food

EASY GLUTEN FREE RAVIOLI OR TORTELLINI RECIPE

Steps:

• Measure and add gfJules® All Purpose Gluten Free Flour to a large bowl and form a shallow well in the flour. Add the oil and water a little at a time into the flour well and mix with pastry blender or fork until it all comes together into a smooth ball or disc. If adding steamed spinach, add into the dough at this time. Wrap in clear plastic wrap and allow to rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Bring a large pot of water to boil with salt. Remove half of the pasta dough and leave the other half wrapped. Roll it into the shape desired: ravioli, tortellini, lasagne, etc. Roll a little thinner than lasagne noodles - remember that you're putting two pieces of dough together so you don't want the edges to be thick and doughy, but the dough shouldn't be so thin that it's easy for the fillings to poke through. It doesn't matter the shape you cut the dough, just as long as you have pairs that match. For ravioli, prepare a clean counter or pastry mat by dusting with gfJules® All Purpose Gluten Free Flour and cut with a large biscuit cutter or roll into long strips, cutting into equal-sized squares or rectangles. Drop a dollop of filling in the middle of every 2 pieces of dough. Dab the edges with wet fingers, and press the two sides together to seal; press the tines of a fork into the edges if desired, to make sure they are sealed. Set filled ravioli aside on a plate and cover with a damp towel while making remaining ravioli. Drop into boiling water. Cook for about 3 minutes - the dough will become more translucent and the raviolis should float before removing with a slotted spoon. For tortellini, make the square or circle larger than with the ravioli because you'll need more dough to bring the edges together. Fill as directed above, then fold the dough over itself, one corner to the opposite, then pull the other two corners together and dab with water to make them stick. Follow the directions below for boiling as you would ravioli. Serve warm with your favorite sauce.

GLUTEN FREE RAVIOLI FILLING

Steps:

• Saute leeks in butter until soft.
• Add ricotta and stir.
• Add Shredded cheese.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Because you heat everything up together you dont need an egg to hold the mix.
• Put spoonfulls onto rolled out pasta. Fold over the pasta, then cut into desired shape. Seal by pinching with fingers or the ends of a fork.
• Freeze at this point if saving for later.
• Boil for 8-10 minutes from frozen. Toss in a little tomato sauce, top with some grated old cheeze and enjoy!

HOMEMADE RAVIOLI WITH RICOTTA CHEESE FILLING

Steps:

• In an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, add eggs, 1 at a time, and mix. Continue mixing and add all the flour and water; continue mixing until it forms a ball. Sprinkle some flour on work surface, and knead the dough until elastic and smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
• Cut the ball of dough in half, cover and reserve the dough you are not immediately using to prevent it from drying out. Dust the counter and dough with flour. Form the dough into a rectangle and roll it through the pasta machine, 2 or 3 times, at its widest setting. Guide the sheet of dough with the palm of your hand as it emerges from the rollers. Reduce the setting and crank the dough through again, 2 or 3 times. Continue until the machine is at its narrowest setting. The dough should be paper-thin, about 1/8-inch thick.
• Dust the counter and dough with flour, and lay out the long sheet of pasta. Brush the top surface of dough with egg wash. Drop 1 tablespoon of cooled filling about 2 inches apart on half the sheet of pasta. Fold the unfilled half over the filling. With an espresso cup or finger, gently press out air pockets around each mound of filling and form a seal. Use a crimper to cut each pillow into squares. Check to make sure the crimped edges are well sealed before cooking. If making ravioli in advance, dust with cornmeal to prevent them from sticking.
• Cook the ravioli in plenty of boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes. Ravioli will float to the top when cooked so be careful not to overcrowd the pot. Lift the ravioli from water with a large strainer or slotted spoon. Plate the pasta, top with your favorite pasta sauce and grated cheese before serving.
• In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine all ingredients. Chill in the refrigerator a few minutes to firm up the filling.

GLUTEN FREE RAVIOLI WITH POTATO/ARTICHOKE/FETA FILLING

Steps:

• For Pasta: Put the dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer. Blend using the paddle. In a separate bowl, lightly beat together the eggs (or flax gel) and oil. While the mixer is on, slowly add eggs and oil mixture to dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Dough will be soft like play dough. If it's not, add water, one tablespoon at a time. Lightly dust your counter with cornstarch. Cut the dough into 8 pieces and cover 7 with a tea towel or plastic wrap. Lightly dust a piece of dough with rice flour and flatten. Roll through the widest setting of a pasta machine. Continue to roll it through, folding it in half each time and lightly dusting with rice flour if the dough is tacky. Do this until the dough begins to hold together and seems smooth. It may take 5 to 6 times. Then decrease the thickness one notch at a time and roll through until desired thickness is achieved. I stopped at setting #4 on my machine. For Filling: 1. In medium skillet, heat oil and sauté garlic and artichoke hearts for about 5 minutes. 2. In food processor, combine artichoke hearts, feta and mashed potatoes until well mixed 3. Lay out pasta sheets. 4. Place four 1 tbsp. dollops of filling mixture evenly spaced on each of the 4 pasta sheets. 5. Slice between dollops, and brush edges with egg wash. Fold past aver and press edges sealed with fork. 6. Place in the fridge for 10-20 minutes. 7. In a large pot, bring a quart of salted water or so to boil. Place ravioli in water and boil for 5-6 minutes. For Sauce: Melt butter or margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add heavy cream, stirring constantly. Stir in salt, nutmeg and grated cheeses. Stir constantly until melted, then mix in egg yolk. Simmer over medium low heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon over ravioli. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. This turned out OH SO YUMMY!!!!!! I highly recommend this pasta, even if you have no issues with glutens. So chewy and tasty.
