Cheese Ravioli With Fried Egg, Meatballs, And Sliced Cucumber Recipe

Cheese Ravioli Preparation

1. Begin by making the pasta dough: Combine wheat flour, water, and eggs until a smooth dough forms. Knead well and let it rest. 2. For the cheese filling, mix ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella. Season as desired. 3. Roll out the pasta dough and cut into squares. Place a spoonful of cheese filling in the center of each square, fold into half to form a triangle or a pocket, and press edges to seal. 4. Cook the ravioli in boiling salted water until they float to the surface, then drain. 5. Heat the tomato sauce prepared with tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and herbs, and pour over the cooked ravioli.

Fried Egg

1. Heat butter or oil in a frying pan over medium heat. 2. Crack an egg into the pan and cook to your liking, either sunny side up or flipped for an over-easy egg.

Meatballs

1. Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature or prepare a skillet with some oil over medium heat. 2. In a bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, a beaten egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, and seasonings. Mix well. 3. Form the mixture into small balls and either bake until cooked through in the oven or fry in the skillet, turning occasionally.

Serving the Dish

1. Arrange the cheese ravioli on a plate and top with the fried egg. 2. Place meatballs around the ravioli, and add slices of fresh cucumber on the side. 3. Serve warm, letting each component of the dish shine.
