Tender beef, sharp cheese and fresh herbs elevate simple pasta dough into elegant ravioli that are packed with flavour. Pulsing the ingredients together is the secret to creating the best texture. Just be sure to use well-marbled short ribs and add any fat to the food processor along with the meat—the result will be a filling that melts in your mouth.
Look for fresh mozzarella and bocconcini cheeses in sealed bags or tubs of water at deli counters. For a delicious splurge, use buffalo mozzarella, a flavourful fresh mozzarella made from water-buffalo milk.
