Potato ravioli is a traditional Italian dish, typical of the Lazio region. They are pasta filled with a delicious filling of potatoes, butter, and basil. The sauce is made with ripe tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, spring onions, celery, fresh garlic, basil, and extra virgin olive oil. This recipe is easy to prepare and perfect for a tasty and flavorful first course.
Boil the potatoes, drain them, peel them, and mash them while still hot using a potato masher
Add the butter, plenty of chopped basil leaves, season with salt, and add a pinch of pepper
Prepare the dough, then roll it out into thin sheets
Distribute small heaps of filling on half of the dough, well spaced apart
Cover with the remaining sheets and press the dough well around the filling
Cut the ravioli with a pasta cutter and let them dry on a lightly floured work surface
Meanwhile, clean the tomatoes, blanch them, peel them, remove the seeds, and coarsely chop the pulp, letting it drain in a colander
Clean the remaining vegetables, wash them, and cut them into cubes, keeping the celery leaves aside
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a pan and sauté the peeled garlic, add the remaining vegetables, and continue cooking over medium heat for a few minutes, just until the vegetables are cooked but still crunchy
Season with salt, add the tomato pulp and a few basil leaves
