Ravioles della Val Varaita alla Tuma dla Paja Occelli
Ingredients

For the gnocchi

  • 1kg of red potatoes
  • 250 g of 00 flour
  • An egg
  • 100 g of Tuma dla Paja Occelli
  • 50 g of Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the dressing

  • 50 g of Beppino Occelli butter
  • 250 g of fresh cream
  • 150 g of Raschera
Preparation
  1. To prepare the Ravioles you have to boil the potatoes for about 30-35 minutes, or in any case until they are well softened.
  2. Mash them with a potato masher while they are still hot, and arrange them on your work surface, adding the Parmesan, the Tuma dla Paja Occelli, a pinch of salt and the egg.

  3. Knead by adding the 00 flour by hand, so as to have a dough that is soft, but not too sticky.

  4. Ravioles do not have the classic shape of gnocchi, but are elongated: to obtain their characteristic shape, therefore, first of all create a single “loaf”, from which you will obtain elongated pieces, with a maximum length of 2 cm.

  5. In the meantime, you can start preparing the dressing to make the Ravioles even tastier, although in this case the rule applies that you can really dress them however you like!

  6. In a pan, melt the butter and add the Raschera and fresh cream. Continue to cook over low heat until all the cheese has completely melted.

  7. Meanwhile, throw your Ravioles in a pot of salted water until they come to the surface. Drain them directly into the pan and mix them well.

  8. To serve, sprinkle them with a little more Raschera. Enjoy them immediately!
