Ingredients
 

For the Ravioli

  • 1 & ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 egg yolk
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of salt
  • Water to boil the ravioli
  • Extra flour to roll the dough
  • 1 egg wash to seal the stuffing

For the stuffing

  • 1 cup shrimp
  • 1 portobello mushroom
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • ½ tbs chilly flakes
  • 2 tbs oil
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese

For the pesto

  • 2 cup fresh basil
  • 1 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup pine nuts
  • pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • To make the Pasta dough, mix the ingredients (flour, egg yolk, pinch of salt and extra virgin olive oil ) and knead to form soft dough. Make sure it's not sticky.
  • In a pan heat 2 tbs oil, saute the shrimp and chopped portobello with some salt, pepper and chilly flakes
  • Once it's cooked and tender, put it in a food processor and pulse it for about 5 times. If you don't have a food processor, just take them out of pan, let it cool down and then finely chop them.
  • Mix parmesan cheese to the stuffing and keep aside.
  • If you have one of those tools to make the pasta sheet, you are lucky. I however followed the old school step.
  • Rub the board and the rolling pin with some flour and start rolling the dough to very fine sheets. I did it in batches, taking a small amount of the dough and then rolling it.
  • Once it's done, rub some egg wash on the sheet and place the stuffing on the sheet keeping 1 inch distance between them.
  • Fold the sheet to cover the stuffing. and give a shape of your choice. Make sure you seal the sides properly without leaving any air inside. I used a fork to seal the sides and it worked perfectly fine.
  • It's very important to keep the raviolis in a plate with some flour on it. If you wish to boil it later, make sure you refrigerate these raviolis.
  • While boiling, you need to put the ravioli in extremely hot water. Don't dip too many at a time. Boil them for 4 minutes. It's ready when it floats on top.
  • For the pesto sauce, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a food processor and blend it. Add little pasta water to adjust the consistency of the sauce.
  • To assemble, place the boiled ravioli on a serving plate and spoon the sauce on top. Grate extra parmesan cheese on top and serve!
