1

Salt

3.5 cups

Flour

6

Eggs

2 tbsps

Olive Oil

1 tbsp

Butter

Directions:

1

For the short ribs: Marinate the short ribs with wine, shallot, garlic and herbs overnight

2

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F

3

Remove the ribs and keep the marinade for later

4

Sear the short ribs in a heavy saucepan on medium high or until golden brown on all sides and remove

5

Add the carrot, leek, celery in the saucepan and caramelize on high heat, then deglaze with the reserved marinade

6

Bring to a boil and add the short ribs again, veal stock, ketchup, and honey

7

Season with salt and pepper

8

Cover and place in the oven for 3 hours or until the meat falls off the bone

9

Remove from oven, strain liquid and skim the fat

10

On medium heat, reduce the braising liquid by half, about 30 minutes

11

Keep aside for the creamy mushroom sauce

12

For the filling: Rehydrate the dried mushrooms in hot water for about 15 minutes and keep the liquid for the sauce

13

Place the onions in a saute pan and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and caramelized, stirring on a regular basis

14

In another pan, saute the rehydrated mushrooms in olive oil and season with salt and pepper

15

Add the shredded short rib meat and caramelized onions

16

Season with salt and pepper

17

Keep aside

18

For the pasta dough: Place the flour on a table in a mound and make a well in the center

19

Put the eggs and salt into the well

20

Whisk the eggs together with a fork, and gently incorporate the flour into the egg mixture a little at a time

21

Using your hands, bring the mixture together to form a ball

22

Knead the pasta dough, about 5 minutes

23

Put the dough in a bowl with olive oil

24

Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes until ready to roll your fresh pasta

25

The pasta can be used right away or will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week

26

Cut the pasta dough into 4 equal sections

27

Flatten one of the dough balls with the palm of your hand until it's about 1/2-inch thick and no wider than the slot of the pasta machine

28

If you don't have a pasta machine, a rolling pin will work fine but make sure to roll the dough thin enough

29

Adjust the slot of the pasta machine to its widest setting (usually number 7)

30

Turn the handle while feeding the dough through the slot

31

Gently hold the flattened dough as it comes out of the pasta machine, but don't pull on it

32

After the dough has completely passed through the pasta machine, turn the slot down to the next smallest setting and pass the dough through the slot

33

As you make the slot smaller, your sheet of dough will become longer

34

Try to gently hold the dough as it exits the pasta machine so it doesn't tear

35

Continue passing the dough through the machine until it's about a 1/16-inch thick or number 2 on the pasta machine

36

For the ravioli: Using 2 spoons, place about 1 tablespoon of filling into each pocket

37

Leave 2-inches in between each of them

38

Brush the edges of the pasta with water

39

This will help the ravioli to seal tightly when boiled

40

Place another sheet of pasta over the ravioli filling

41

Press out any air to form a seal around each ravioli

42

Using a cookie cutter to cut desired shape

43

Place the raviolis in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent from sticking

44

At this point, if you want to freeze the ravioli for later, place the entire baking sheet into the freezer

45

Once the ravioli have frozen, you can remove the pasta and place them in resealable bags

46

For the sauce: In a pan on medium heat, saute the shallots and fresh mushrooms in olive oil and butter until golden brown

47

Season with salt and pepper

48

Add reserved short rib braising liquid and water from the rehydrated mushrooms

49

Continue cooking until quantity is reduced by half, about 15 minutes

50

Add the cream and let simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes

51

For serving: Cook the ravioli in salted boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes or until the ravioli floats

52

Serve 3 to 4 raviolis per person, add the mushroom sauce and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped chives
