Ingredients
for the vegan sausage filling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup minced shallots
- 2–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 Italian-style Field Roast sausages, ground in a food processor
for the ravioli dough
- one recipe vegan ravioli dough (see Notes)
to serve (optional)
- Fresh herbs (basil or parsley)
- Vegan ricotta
- Pasta sauce
Instructions
Make the filling
- Warm the olive oil in a cast-iron pan over medium heat.
- Add the shallots and sauté until softened, 3–4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the ground plant-based sausage and sauté until lightly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely before filling the ravioli.
Assemble the ravioli
- Divide the rested pasta dough into four pieces, keeping unused portions covered to prevent drying.
- Roll each piece through a pasta machine, starting at the widest setting and gradually working down to setting #4 (or about 1/16-inch thick).
- Drape one sheet of dough over a floured ravioli mold.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into each well.
- Lay a second sheet of dough over the top, pressing gently to seal.
- Use a rolling pin to cut and seal the ravioli, then remove excess dough.
- Transfer ravioli to a parchment- or silpat-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Cook the ravioli
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
- Drop in the ravioli in batches (6–8 at a time).
- Cook until the ravioli float, then boil for 1 additional minute.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with sauce and toppings.
Notes
- Frozen ravioli can be cooked directly from frozen—add 1–2 minutes to the cooking time.
- Ravioli can be frozen in a single layer, then transferred to an airtight container for up to 3 months.
