Macaroni Grill ravioli Di Gamberi


Notes:
I have had this before there with crawfish in the sauce. That was also excellent. I have also just made the lemon butter sauce with about a pound of crawfish and served that over pasta. So don't let the time consuming preparation tear you away.



Ingredients:
Pasta:

1 lb. Flour
4 Eggs
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Water
1 tsp. Salt
Shrimp Stuffing

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Tbsp. Butter
1 ˝ lbs. Shrimp, cleaned and devined
2 leeks, white portion, chopped
˝ tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Ground White Pepper
1 lb. Ricotta cheese
1 Egg
1/4 C. Heavy Cream
1 Tbsp. Fresh Basil, chopped fine
1/2 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme, chopped fine
Lemon Butter Sauce

2 ˝ C. Butter
1/4 C. Dry White Wine
˝ Tbsp. Garlic chopped
˝ tsp. Saffron - you can substitute with turmeric
1/4 tsp. Ground White Pepper
Juice from ˝ lemon
1 C. Heavy Cream
1/2 lb. Cooked Shrimp


Preparation:
Place the flour in a mound on a clean, dry surface. Form a well or hole in the center of the flour. Beak eggs into the center of the flour and add the oil, water, and salt. Use your hands to mix the ingredients together and slowly mix in the flour. Knead until well mixed. Cover with a clean towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Cut the dough into quarters. Begin to pass the dough through a pasta machine and continue to run it through until the dough is smooth. Run the dough through the thinnest setting to form 4 sheets of dough.


Shrimp Filling
Place olive oil and butter in a sauté pan. Warm. Add shrimp, leeks, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4 minutes. Remove ˝ of shrimp and set aside. In a bowl combine ricotta cheese, egg, cream, basil and thyme, and mix together. Combine cooled shrimp mixture and leek mixture.

Filling the ravioli

Brush each sheet of pasta with beaten egg. Place 1 tablespoon mounds of shrimp/leek mixture 3 inches apart along 1 side of pasta. Fold the pasta over to form pockets. Gently press an indentation into the dough between the mounds of shrimp/leek mixture. Cut the ravioli into pieces along these lines.


Lemon Butter Sauce
Melt butter in a sauté pan. Add garlic, saffron, and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add white wine and cook for 1 minute. Add lemon juice and cream. Cook until well mixed. Add cooked shrimp and cook for 1 minute.

Serve by cooking ravioli for about 2 -3 minutes in a pot of boiling salted water. Remove from water and drain. Place ravioli in a bowl and cover with sauce.
