There are three parts to Homemade Five Cheese Ravioli with Garlic Brown Butter Sauce–the brown butter sauce, the cheese filling, and the all-important homemade ravioli. I am going to start with the ravioli.
First, the fun part! Don’t be intimidated by the idea of making homemade pasta. It is SO MUCH fun using your KitchenAid® 3-Piece Pasta Roller and Cutter Set attachment. You don’t even need a specialized ravioli maker for this recipe, just your KitchenAid attachment.
We love how smooth that pasta is!
If you take a look at the ingredients needed for the ravioli, you should notice you don’t need a lot of them!
To make the brown butter sauce and cheese filling, it’s a matter of combining the ingredients together and setting them both aside. When you are making the brown butter sauce, be sure to NOT overcook the garlic. For the cheese mixture, combine all the ingredients together and set it aside. In fact, you could make both of these as your dough is resting for 30 minutes. Be sure to take the time to grate your own cheese for the filling! Trust me, it makes a huge difference, and you may think twice about buying pre-shredded cheese ever again! Finally, it’s all about those bragging rights of making your own pasta… I will give you tips to make sure you are proud of the results!
When you compare a block of cheese to pre-shredded cheese, you will notice some added ingredients to the pre-shredded cheese that are not included in a block of cheese. These extra ingredients help keep the shredded cheese separated and last longer from getting moldy. They also help retain the color of the shredded cheese. However, because blocks of cheese do not have these extra ingredients, grating your own cheese from a block simply cooks and melts better. Another bonus you may want to consider is to think about the cost and how long it lasts. A block of cheese that you grate will give you lots more bang, I mean cheese, for your buck. And, taken out of the plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator wrapped in tin foil will keep it for a couple of weeks! With five different kinds of cheese being used, three of which you could grate on your own, I would recommend giving it a try!
Yes, definitely! It is easy to make ravioli ahead of time and freeze them for up to six months! If you are not planning to boil the pasta right away, place the filled ravioli on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them like this for about 30 minutes. Then, put them all in an airtight container to freeze until you are ready to cook them. When ready to make, simply put the frozen ravioli into a pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes, and they are ready to go!
Loaded with cheese and topped with a brown butter sauce, Homemade Five Cheese Ravioli with Garlic Brown Butter will make you feel like you are in Italy!
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, romano cheese, cream cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. Set aside.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Be sure to not overcook the garlic.
Sift flour and salt onto a work surface.
Make a wide well in the center of the flour.
Add egg yolks and oil and gently whisk the wet mixture together within the well.
Using a bench scraper, cut into the mixture to break up the gluten, while continuously using your hands to bring the entire mixture together. Fold it into a single mass.
Knead the dough with your hands for 7-10 minutes, adding more flour as needed.
Roll the dough out into a ¼ inch thick rectangle (thin enough to fit into the KitchenAid Pasta Roller attachment at its widest setting).
