Make a dough of 150 grams of pasta flour and 2 eggs, knead until a supple dough and let rest for half an hour. Meanwhile, make the filling: a cup of ricotta cheese, beaten with one egg yolk, pepper, nutmeg, grated lemon zest, soft goat's cheese, grated parmesan and grated old goat's cheese. Cook up a simple tomato sauce with one tin of plum tomatoes, a little sugar, some butter and one clove of garlic, let simmer for half an hour or so. Use a pasta machine to make sheets of pasta and fill with the cheeses filling. Fold and put on a board until ready for cooking. In simmering water, boil the home made ravioli for about 4 minutes until just done. Put in a warmed plate, add a little tomato sauce, some grated cheese and drops of (leftover) pesto. Lovely flavours: nothing beats the freshness of homemade pasta and filling, so subtle and delicious.
