Instructions

Step 1

Mix the fresh ricotta with a little salt, black pepper and cinnamon. Put in piping bag.

Step 2

With the help of a pasta machine, roll the pasta into thin layers. Fold the parcels as you like, ravioli or “tortelli” it doesn't change much and I invite you to watch my videos on Instagram for the tutorials.

Step 3

Sweat the onion in olive oil with a pinch of salt. When translucent and golden, add the basil and cook for a few more minutes. Now add the tomatoes, season to taste and cook for about 25 minutes. Mix while is simmer to break the tomatoes into pieces. Remove the basil leaves.

Step 4

Cook the pasta into salted boiling water for about 1 minutes and 30 seconds.

Step 5

When ready drain and drizzle with a little oil.

Step 6

Spread 2 spoonful of chunky tomato sauce on the bottom of the plate, top with ravioli, and finish with grated pecorino cheese. Garnish with a few fresh leaves of marjoram.
