RECIPE: Nutella Churro Dessert Ravioli

This past weekend we spent all day on Sunday making pasta.  You can read more and find the recipe for some super amazing ravioli here.  After we were done making ravioli, we still had some extra dough so we decided to use it to create a dessert ravioli.  What we came up with was a FANTASTIC Nutella Churro Dessert Ravioli.  Also, we are making these ravioli by hand so if you do not have the Kitchen Aid Mixer Ravioli attachment we used in the last post we will show you how to make ravioli the old fashioned way.

INGREDIENTS:

    • 1 C sugar
    • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
    • 1 tbsp cinnamon
    • Nutella
    • Homemade Pasta Dough
    • 2 tbsp Butter (not pictured)
    • Chocolate syrup (not pictured)

 INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Take a sheet of pasta dough and spoon on two scoops of Nutella, approximately 1/2 tbsp each, 1 inch from the edge of the pasta sheet.

Step 2: Fold over the pasta dough until the Nutella is enclosed entirely in a little ravioli pouch.  Optionally, to provide a better seal, prior to folding over the pasta sheet you may rub an egg white along the edges of the sheet. Once you have folded over your ravioli, use a knife to cut the ravioli away from the rest of the dough and to separate the two individual raviolis.

Step 3: Using a fork, press down firmly along the outside edges to seal the Nutella inside the ravioli.

Once all the ravioli are sealed, place them in the freezer overnight or for at least 2 hours.

 Step 4: While the ravioli are in the freezer, prepare the churro coating. Combine the sugars and cinnamon in a bowl.

Step 5: Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil and add ravioli. While the ravioli cook, melt 2 tbsp of butter in a small pan over medium high heat.  Once the ravioli begin to float remove from the water and place in the pan to fry.

When frying anything, be careful as the hot butter may splatter. Allow the ravioli to cook for approximately 2 minutes per side or just until they start to turn crispy and begin to brown.

Step 6: Remove the ravioli from the frying pan and place in a small dish. Thoroughly coat each side with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Step 7: Place the Nutella Churro Dessert Ravioli on a plate and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

Time to enjoy an amazingly delicious Nutella Churro Dessert Ravioli!
