Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour (1 cups) - for dusting the surface
  • fresh mint (2 leaves) - for garnish
  • powdered sugar (1 tablespoons) - for decoration
  • heavy cream (0.5 cups)
  • chopped dark chocolate (4 ounces)
  • cookie dough (0.5 cups) - store-bought or homemade
  • salt (0.5 teaspoon)
  • extra-virgin olive oil (1 tablespoons)
  • beaten egg (1 large) - for pasta dough

Instructions

Make the pasta dough

  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, a beaten egg, salt, and extra-virgin olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the ravioli

  • Roll out the dough into a thin sheet using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
  • Cut the dough into evenly sized squares, around 3 inches each.
  • Place a small spoonful of cookie dough in the center of half the squares.
  • Brush the edges of each square with a little water, then place another square on top, pressing the edges to seal and form a ravioli. Repeat with remaining dough.

Cook the ravioli

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
  • Gently add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface.
  • Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Make the chocolate sauce

  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
  • Add the chopped dark chocolate to the pan and stir until melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Serve

  • Place the freshly cooked ravioli on a serving plate.
  • Drizzle generously with the chocolate sauce.
  • Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and a sprig of fresh mint.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips

  • Ensure that your prepared cookie dough is chilled before filling the ravioli; this helps maintain the shape during assembly and cooking.
  • When sealing the ravioli, ensure that there are no air bubbles trapped inside as they can cause the ravioli to burst during cooking.
  • A pasta cutter or ravioli mold can be helpful in achieving evenly shaped ravioli.
  • For a slightly crunchy texture, consider lightly pan-frying the ravioli in a little butter after boiling, before adding the chocolate sauce.
  • Feel free to experiment with different flavored cookie dough or fillings, such as adding nuts or bits of brownie for added texture.
