SHRIMP RAVIOLI WITH A TOMATO VODKA CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauce -- Make the sauce first and set to the side. In a medium size pot, add the butter and melt on medium heat, then add in the onion, garlic, roasted red pepper and red pepper flakes and cook until the onions are tender and translucent. Should take about 5 minutes. Then add in the vodka and cook another minute, followed by the tomatoes, heavy cream, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Just simmer for another five minutes and it is done. This can be done in advance and just heated up, or made at the time you plan to serve the ravioli. It freezes well and will stay 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
• Shrimp Filling -- Now I like to get my shrimp steamed right at the grocery store to save time. You can also buy pre-cooked shrimp, which I don't like as much, but they certainly will work for this dish just fine.
• The shrimp needs to be very fine chopped which you can do by hand, or if you are me, I just add it to my food processor to get a coarse chop which is so much easier.
• Then add the shrimp to a large bowl with the ricotta, parmesan, eggs, garlic, parsley, nutmeg, salt and pepper and mix well.
• Ravioli -- Lay out the ravioli and put a small spoon of the filling on top of each ravioli in the center. With you finger or a small brush, brush the edges of the wonton with a little water and then top with the second wonton, and press the sides together and around the center filling so there is no air and the wonton and it is sealed tight. Lay them all out of a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to dry slightly. Now they are ready for cooking. If you want, rather than making a square ravioli, you can easily put the filling on the bottom ravioli and fold over corner to corner to make a triangle. This method will work just as well and will give you about 40 plus triangle shaped ravioli. Either way works just as good as the other.
• Cook them right away, or you can freeze them right on the sheet and bag them up and freeze for later. NOTE: If you have any left over filling, add some onions, peppers and make a quesadilla or a grilled shrimp sandwich.
• Cook -- In a pot of salted medium boiling water, add the ravioli and cook 3-4 minutes. When they float, they are done. Remember the filling is already cooked, so you are just heating them through. They don't take long.
• Serve -- Just top the ravioli with your sauce, some fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese. And ENJOY!
• Don't forget the salad and crusty garlic bread!

SHRIMP RAVIOLI

Steps:

• For the pasta: Mound the flour on a work surface. Season with a pinch of salt. Make a deep well in the middle of the flour, about 6 inches in diameter. Combine the eggs, egg yolks, olive oil and a pinch of salt together in a mixing bowl and mix well. Slowly add the egg mixture to the well in the flour, using a fork to start grabbing bits of flour from the outside of the well to mix into the egg mixture in the middle. Keep incorporating the sides of the well into the center until a tacky dough ball is formed. Knead the dough ball by hand until all the flour has fully incorporated. Wrap the dough ball well and let rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• For the filling: Combine the shrimp, Calabrian chiles, bacon, lemon and pinch of salt in a food processor. Puree for 10 to 15 seconds, then scrape down the sides and add the basil. Puree briefly until combined.
• Using a pasta roller, roll out the dough into 2 sheets of pasta thin enough to where you can feel your fingers through them (usually a number 5 to 6 on the sheeter setting). Place one sheet of the pasta dough on a well-floured surface. If using a cutter to make ravioli shapes, gently mark on the pasta sheet to see where the filling should be piped. Brush the dough with water. Add dollops of filling spaced out evenly across the middle of the sheet, using the marks as a guide. Gently brush a little bit of water over the second sheet of pasta. Place the sheet, dampened-side down, over the one with the filling, gently lining up the edges. Using your fingers, press and seal around the filling, making the seal as airtight as possible. Use a ring cutter or knife to cut out ravioli. Use your fingers to gently seal the edges and remove any air pockets and transfer the ravioli to a baking sheet sprinkled with semolina.
• For the sauce: Put a bit of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic and thyme leaves, then add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to soften and burst, 7 to 10 minutes. Move the shallot mixture to one side of the pan, then remove the pan from the heat and deglaze with the vodka. Carefully ignite the vodka, slightly tipping the pan away from you. Once the flame subsides, return to the heat and cook at a simmer until the vodka has been reduced to 1 tablespoon, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, crushed Calabrian chiles, lemon juice and basil leaves and cook until the sauce is thickened and has reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and drop the fresh ravioli in. Cook just until it floats, about 1 1/2 minutes. Take the ravioli out of the pot with a skimmer or slotted spoon and place in the saute pan with a splash of pasta water. Toss the sauce and ravioli together over low heat.
• Using a large spoon, place the ravioli on plates and add more sauce over the top. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan.
