Pork, Beef, Green Chili Stuffed Raviolis

flour

I like to use wheat flour in pasta. This recipes is one cup wheat and one cup white. The local co-op carries local wheat and white flour. With the flour I put about a 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt and mix

eggs and olive oil

Whisk two eggs and two teaspoons olive oil together. Then while mixing with the paddle I add the egg mixture to the flour. After mixing it will look crumbly.

kneaded pasta dough

Take it out of the mixer and knead it til it comes together in a ball. I live in the desert so I had to add a couple tablespoons water to get it to form.

stuffing ingredients

I used about a pound of pork and a half pound of beef. I had some left over so you could probably double your dough if you wanted to make it all at once. I found some local green chile goat cheese on sale so I added that, about a quarter cup of chopped pine nuts and a tablespoon of Cumin. Smoosh it up real good!

rolling out the dough

Roll out the dough.

ravioli

Stuff the ravioli.

Pinch the edges. You can uses a little water if the layers are too dry to stick together.

boiling

Drop them into rolling boiling water with plenty of salt. I cooked them about three minutes to make sure the meat was thoroughly cooked. Take one out and test it to make sure that time works for yours too.

finished

I served mine with some local pasta sauce that I found called Michelangelo Fresh Basil Pasta Sauce (very yummy) and topped it off with a little local shredded mozzarella cheese

kid approved

They pasted the kid test with flying colors!

Next time I will make a double batch of dough and use up the meat all at once. Then I will put then on a cookie sheet and freeze them. When they are frozen they should store well in a ziplock in the freezer for a quick meal on a night you can’t cook. All in all it took me about an hour to make and was well worth it.

    Those ravs looks tasty. What is this green chile goat cheese! We need to find that somewhere.

    It’s a soft cheese made in So. CO I think or was it N. NM? Anyway, they sell it at the Santa Fe Farmers Market and at the local co-op. I like to buy it at the co-op when they mark it down. You could probably add green chili (I like Hatch brand, made hear in Hatch, NM but sold nationally) to any soft goat cheese. I love goat cheese with pine nuts a very tasty combo!

    ohhh, they don’t do chile elsewhere like they do in NM. my mom grew up there, and i sometimes have deep longings for real green chile. sometimes it IS difficult to eat local.

    that said, so happy to find your blog! yum. i just received a pasta machine as a gift from some of my students. these ravioli (sadly without any green chile goat cheese) would be perfect to break it in. cannot wait to look around your blog some more!
